Pediatrician, Dr. Kanwar Deep's Response

Thanks for the query
The lump and dimple on her cheek seems to be an after effect of an injury which she had suffered ,sometime back.
Usually after an injury, when healing of tissues occur, then there is over repair of the tissues and gradually these tissues remodeled to their original size and shape.
Therefore it is of no special significance and should not be worrisome.
