Hello
This problem is called sacral dimple. it is a rare congenital malformation which is simple to severe in forms. The lower the dimple is to anus mildest it is. However the spine has to be checked for internal defect beneath skin with x ray and an ultrasound is needed to look for kidneys and bladder just to look any associated abnormality. In your case it sèems like it is of mild form though get the above investigations done.
