Axolotls don't shed their skin, right? Then what could this be? It looks like Alfred's skin is coming off

It wasn't like this yesterday either, it's just.. suddenly appeared. I'm so worried, too. Please tell me it's nothing dangerous!

he might have scraped along something in the tank? is there anything sharpish in there?
 
Miksu is the "scrape" only in one place ir is it in others places?
Looks a bit like a scrape, colour looks fine and from what we see of gills they look a nice healthy pink. If it appears to get worse or doesn't disappear or be seeming to improve in a day or two then a visit to vets wouldn't harm.
As usual a salty bath would help ward off infection, just in case.
Tweak managed to scratch a small puncture on his flank last week, At 3 days it was mostly gone.
 
I don't have anything sharp in the aquarium- as far as I know. There is quite big stones on the bottom, but they are all round and sleek.
And it's only on this particular place on his side as shown in the pictures.

I just went to see, and it looks a bit better now. It's not totally gone, but most of it is. Guess I was worrying for nothing

Thanks anyway!
