Brief Answer:
Further details needed

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I have checked the attached images.

I would insist you to check:
- If the abdomen is soft. If it is, it is not a cause for concern.
- Whether the bowel habits are regular. If it is, it is not a cause for concern.
- Whether any vomiting or abdominal pain is present. If they are absent, it is not a cause for concern.
- Whether appetite is proper. If it is, it is not a cause for concern.

Let me know these and I would guide you accordingly. Overall it does not appear too concerning. I would be able to clarify once I hear back from you.

Regards
