Nobody knows if it was a physical mark or maybe a mental mark? I would think it was a warning that God put in a potential killer's head not to touch Cain.
Jewish AnswerThe mark on his forehead was the letter 'vav' which is HaShem's mark. Depending on what is used to make the mark, it's either HaShem's protection or condemnation.
Side fact:
The Christian "mark of the beast" comes from a misunderstanding of the discussion of HaShem's mark in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The letter 'vav' has the numerical value of 6 and that's where the Christians created the concept of '666'.

∙ 12y agoThe mark placed on Cain's forehead wasn't a curse, it was HaShem's protection. HaShem marked Cain after Cain protested that his punishment would make him vulnerable to being attacked by others. The mark in question was the letter 'vav' (ו) and it was placed on Cain's forehead to warn others not to harm him.
Bereishit 4: 14-15
"Behold You have driven me today off the face of the earth, and I shall be hidden from before You, and I will be a wanderer and an exile in the land, and it will be that whoever finds me will kill me." And the Lord said to him, "Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance will be wrought upon him sevenfold," and the Lord placed a mark on Cain that no one who find him slay him.
