It is hard to say without more description or pictures.

It could be normal ("stork bite" or from pressure - they way they are positioned).

It could be something benign such as cradle cap.

It could be a vascular malformation such as a hemagioma or port wine stain.

It could be an infection (and need urgent treatment).

The best bet is to show it to the doctor.
