What Causes A Bump On The Forehead With A Black Center In A Child?

My 16 week old son has a small bump on his forehead with a black center, He's had it for almost 1 month, I thought it a insect bite at first but it's not healing. Any ideas of what it could be? It doesn't appear to bother him, but since its not going away I worry. The center of the bump seems sunken in.
