A member asked:
Do you know anything about a sacral dimple in a infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sacral dimple infant: It is an indentation, present at birth, over the lower back. Most are benign. However, if there is a deep hole, a tuft of hair, discoloration, or skin tag have your pediatrician evaluate your child to rule out a serious underlying abnormality of the spine.
