Hello,
It may be preauricular sinus or jaw malposition or delivered by forceps may cause some depression on the side etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please show to your pediatrician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
