hi Jas! hope u r doing good! my daughter too had a red mole on her scalp. though it disappeared completely on its own by the time she was 3 years old . most of the times red moles on a baby's scalp are birth marks or profusion of blood vessels and are not a cause of worry. having said that ,u need to keep a close watch and monitor if there are changes in shape, size or colour of the mole. be gentle and make sure it doesn't bleed by scratching. also take the opinion of a dermatologist to rule out any underlying cause. hope this helps!
