Hi so I just noticed my boy has something black on his nose. At first it looked like it may be mucous but it doesn't rub off or anything. Please help :(

It isn't a freckle because it wasn't there before. I don't know if it's a scab because I don't see how he could have hurt himself, I let him out for playtime and he didn't have anything. I tried wiping it off with a wet tissue but its stuck :/
 
Is it a scab? I can't really tell...

I was thinking the same thing. Dany had a mark like that a while back and it did turn out to be a scab. It healed up in a few days. I would give it a couple of days and see if you see any kind of difference in its appearance.
 
It might be a scab then. They can bump up against anything and get a scratch. Just keep an eye on it and it should be fine.
 
I think it also looks like a freckle, they can get darker or more can start to appear on the ears and even the nose as they age.
