Broken blood vessel perhaps?

Hi my 18 month old has a red spot on her cheek, it's been there for a couple of months now. It is flat and doesn't bother her. At times it looks redder then usual. I think it may be a broken blood vessel. Has anyone else's little ones had this and did it eventually fade?

My 2yo had this after a bout of tonsillitis, not sure what it was but it went away. Won't do any harm to speak to a dr if you're concerned x

Thanks for responding, really appreciate it. How long did it take to go away?

I'm sure it was there around 7ish weeks, you can still slightly see it now
