Tail Rot? (Pics included)

My bearded dragon had tail rot, I put in WEEKS taking care of it myself and I finally thought it was all over. But I am very unsure now.

The end of the tail is starting to darken, and I'm not sure if thats because of healing or if its rotting again.
I have been soaking it in a betadine solution 1-2xs a day (depending on if my work gets in the way) And I have been covering it in antibiotic after each session. The cage is clean, no substrate- only paper towels.

she still eats like a pig. crickets and veggies (this baby eats better then I do)
Shes just over a year old, but she won't grow much bigger. she came from a bad litter and was the only survivor. Its why I took her in the first place. she needed special 1x1 time.

I know that we all accept pets with the idea that we will ALWAYS take them to a specialist when there is a slight hint of a problem. But My life has changed very drastically since I got them and I want to avoid a 500$ vet bill if possible.
I need someone to confirm what I am looking at and tell me if the rot is back. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just healing?

Hello :) When my female had tail rot that is what the end of her tail looked like when I was done with it. Now the end of her tail is always dark.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
