My one week old kitten has a brown spot next to her eye it's very small and looks sorta like a scab. Should I be concerned?

I really cannot tell what it is from the photo. I can't enlarge it enough to see. I suggest you do nothing but monitor it for now. If it gets larger, opens up or starts to bother him/her then let us know and we can re-evalute.
