I have had this happen to, its tiny particles sticking to the tip of the stylus, it get picked up from the screen. I often swirl the stylus against jeans or other clothing material a few times, like zooming in microb. Replacements styluses are available, I have bought originals from here. But I use screen protector so its only the protector that get these tiny sharp scratches.
