I noticed these little circles a couple days ago, but now it looks like the design has completely rubbed off in these 3 little circles. He's very active and his eating habit has not changed but I want to make sure this is not a serious situation.

It looks like normal shedding, though a picture of the area when it's dry will be helpful.

You were right Steve, it was just normal shedding due to growing. Everything looks normal on him/her again, I was just being a worried new parent :)
