Weird red mark on DD's head

So all day today one of my girls has had this red blotch right in the middle of her forehead.  It has been there since I got her up this morning and it has not gone away and it has not gotten better or worse.  It doesn't seem like a rash  or anything that bothers her.  Lately she has been doing these head stand things in what seems to be an attempt to stand by herself.  She will go from sitting to putting her head down on the floor (kind of hard sometimes and we have wood floors) and go into this head stand thing.  So I guess I am asking if this could cause the red mark on her head?  Could it be something I should worry about??

DS gets red blotches (sometimes has a very small white spot in middle....almost like a little hive) all the time. He has sensitive skin and I have no idea what causes it. Just a little allergic reaction. Usually from rolling around on the floor. It goes away usually after a few hours.... It is prob from her having her head on the floor is my guess.

She probably bumped her head doing her head thing or even when she was in the crib. I would not worry about it. My 10 month old suddenly had one and it turned into a bruise a day or two later. No idea when or how it happened. LOs are resilient. She's fine.

I was gonna say, I've seen my DD have the same thing, and it generally goes away relatively quickly! Your babies are adorable btw!
