Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic.
warm and red mark appearing suddenly may indicate an allergic rash or injury or insect bite or an infection.Without knowing the details and without examining it is difficult to comment on the diagnosis.you have not mentioned whether it is sudden, recent or longstanding and the size and shape.In any case for such a small infant it is better to consult a pediatrician if the lesion persists.
Thanks
