What Causes A Flat Spot On The Back Of 10 Week Old?

My 10 week old s head has a flat spot on the back, the doctor said it s not bad at all and with tummy time should round out. However, a few days ago my husband and I noticed that his forehead is uneven too. The right side of his forehead sticks bumps out a little more than the left. It is very hard to notice and probably only noticeable to me because I am constantly inspecting him. Is this because of the flat spot on the back?

Your doubt and worry is very important to me. I need that you understand that I'm not inspecting your child so I create in my mind a paint of what you are describing, but this never is equal to see your angel. So, when we humans, born we came with some differences, some very shy others screaming. It seems that your doctor doesn't mind because probably is this kind of born skin little difference. Inside the skin is a lot of cells call melanocytes, that are cells that create the skin color. If you understand that we can conclude that is a genetic programme that make this white spot.
