Probably not: Babies skin can have lots of different bumps and lesions. If it is stable and not rapidly changing ins size and continue to not cause any symptoms, i would recommend you mention it to your pediatrician a the next office visit . You should be taking her in for an 18 month well visit, if you haven't done so already.
