Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have a few possibilities in mind; however, none of them fit the brief description that you provide. I lack being able to see a picture of the mark. If she is doing well otherwise, you may wait until you take her to the doctor for her 6-month well checkup for it to be seen by him/her.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
