Looks like a damaged scale

Hi guys, I was playing with my dragon today when I noticed this. (pictures included)
Rufus has nearly daily baths, eats properly, has a very clean vivarium and is looked after well.

I have never seen this before, until today, he had a random scale that look like it is shedding and that was it, this was last week!😰
Please offer me some opinions, I’m so stressed

Is the dark the normal coloring? please do not bath daily -- its drying the scales out- dragons only need baths if one they are drinking from the bath or they have pooped on themselves - I am gonna have @AHBD take a look

That's nothing of concern, it's the equivalent of us having a little scratch or blemish. And like Karrie said, daily baths are totally unnatural, although it seems like lots of owners do it, beardies live in areas with very little standing water and would rarely come in contact with or plunge in to bodies of water. Baths are only needed if dragon is actually dirty, once a week or every 2 week is fine . Anyway, your beardie is O.K. ! :)

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
