EMERGENCY Rot or not?

This just appeared, I really need to know if this is rot and I need to be afraid, or if this is just something that will go away. If it is rot, what should I do?

Hi there,

Those dark spots just look like poo to me. Did you try bathing and gently brushing the area?

Unless there was an injury to the tail, tail rot is basically an impossible scenario.

I just gave her a bath, but I never scrubbed the area fearing it might hurt her. She had a minor tail injury about a year ago when she moved her tail in the way of the door to her enclosure but I doubt its broken, she exhibits no pain when touching it and it was so long ago I don't think necrosis would come from that. I'll go scrub her tail a little right now and see if it was poop. Thanks!

Hello,

The tail looks fine to me as well. I would definitely try bathing him first to see if you
can clean it up a little bit. It doesn't look injured to me though?
