Tail rot??? Please help!

[Sydneeeng]

Hi there, hoping anyone can give me input before I go running straight to the vet. Preface: my bearded dragons tail has always been lighter than the rest of his body. But he started shedding in his face for the first time in idk how many months. I noticed today the end of the top of his tail has turned dark. My previous chameleon died from an infection and had tail rot so I’m kinda freaking out! Can anyone tell if this is the beginning of tail rot? There’s been no shriveling or softness to it, just a change in color.

Very odd/interesting patterning at that obvious deviation from the rest of the pattern of the tail, but nothing looks off or infected or dying.

Tail looks normal besides the cool pattern.

I agree with Brandon, it looks normal

Hello,

Wow, very interesting pattern, I agree! I have never seen anything like that, it's like polka dots.
There doesn't seem to be any tail rot or discoloration indicating any infection though.
