The sacral dimple does not look deep and is near the anal verge- so does not seem to be bothersome.
Next Steps
Keep watching if the infant has decreased leg movements, dribbing of urine, constipation. If you observe any of the above, consult a pediatrician and also ULtrasound of sacral region  will help

Hi, We need to wait and see. Since there is no tuft of hair, nothing to worry. Dimple looks harmless.
