Dark spot/freckle/mole on babies head?

Woke up and found this on my 11 week old babies head. Can't tell if it's a freckle, mole or scab. I've checked through pictures and I am fairly sure this has appeared in the last day at least.

I am worried that this is something to worry about - google has told me that freckles should not appear on babies. Wondering if it's a burst milia? Has anyone had anything similar on their baby? Is this something we need to go to GP about? My tired, new-mum mind is having words like 'cancer' and 'skin disease' going around it.

I'm an anxious first time mum, who lost her first baby at 33 weeks a year ago. My health anxiety due to this can be difficult and it's difficult to not convince myself something is horribly wrong!

Many thanks in advance!

Looks totally fine to me. Babies do develop moles that show up as they get older. Your baby is only tiny, please don't worry.

Hey! Did you ever find out what this was? I've just seen something identical on little ones head that's most def just appeared in the last day or two.

thanks.
