It's hemangioma which means dilated blood vessels
Take care that baby doesn't get injured there
Rest it will disappear on its own after 6-7 years

This is infantile hemangioma not blood spot.there is nothing to worry,it usually grows for sometime,and then shrinks and goes away by 1 year of age.it usually doesn't require treatment.
only rare cases it might require laser removal.
