Does anyone's preschooler have a sacral dimple?

DS has been complaining about his itching for the past few days.  It's clean and not red or anything.  I feel kind of silly calling the pedi about it, but perhaps I should?

    Yes, my middle son has a pretty deep one - but they ruled out any issues via u/s when he was 2 days old.  He has never complained of pain or itching in that area.  Personally I would call... not trying to scare you. It could just be an infection.. on the Mayo clinic site it does suggest you call if there is tenderness (https://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sacral-dimple/DS00753/DSECTION=symptoms)  

    Hoping it is nothing!

    I never knew there was a technical term for this!  DH and I have always joked about it (not to her of course) that she won't even know it's there until she gets married when she's 35+ and her husband teases her about it.
