Not necessarily. If they are surface shimi you should be able to just scrape them off with your fingernail. No scales lost. If they're deep rooted, well, then, MS222 and use a pointed scalpel and use the tip like a drill bit, That's how Toshio Sakai fixed a Kohaku during one of our trips.

I thought shimis only happen on the beni?
My kohaku developed several ugly ones; a couple pretty large. I believe two episodes of green water took care of them, now I have none
Mitch yours are pretty small. Not even noticeable.

The only malady that's related strictly to the beni is Hikkui disease. Shimi are usually caused by poor water and melanin in the skin/genetic of the fish.

I have a kohaku with a shimi spot that disappear on its own this year, so you never know....
I notice the shimi just about this year. Yeah still tiny so I will leave em alone
Over the years I’ve owned quiet many kohaku
Most of them developed shimi
I can’t provide them soft water
Genetics I agree but....poor water yes that cause fade beni and I haven’t experience that for a while.
I do the best I can for the koi
Well sanke or Showa from now then
Ahhh, there he is... my most fav koi!
I don't know what it is... I just love everything about this one.
OC your doing such a great job as ever.
