It may just be soft new scale. If it doesn't look wounded or raw it should be OK. (If it does look wounded we can help with that as well, just let us know). I agree that some photos would be helpful to confirm. You can upload photos here https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/ and post them to your thread using the XIMG button when you reply.

I'm not able to tell much from that photo. The spike looks dark near the tip which is pretty common.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
