What's on my baby's leg?

Baby is now 6 weeks old and this has been on her leg she was born.
I've asked all midwives/doctors/health visitor etc and none of them knew what it was and they said to ask whoever saw her next in the hopes someone would recognise it.
It's slightly hard and a little raised.
It was noted on her body map as "dry skin" which is obviously wrong.
Is it a birth mark? If so, what kind? Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thanks!

My daughter has had something very similar on the back of her thigh since birth. It's still there 13 years later. Never did find out what it was. I assume some sort of birthmark.

@AutumnLover1989 thank you! I have 3 daughters and all 3 have 2 matching birthmarks, I guess the littlest just got an extra!
I work with children and I've never seen a birthmark like this one.
