Brief Answer:
This does not mean anything serious

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This does not mean any thing serious or medically relevant.

Skin on forehead and underarm is supposed to give similar readings and can be different from temperature from mucosa from oral cavity. However infra-red reading can be little higher. So technically its fine

Hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
