White tail

[Harroyork]

Hi all, my 1 year old male bearded dragon has pulled some scales off his tail today in just one spot but underneath is just white skin so I don't think he was ready to shed? I noticed half of it came off at first and then within half an hour I found more peeled off in his vivarium, his tail seems to look fine besides this so I'm hoping it's not tail rot as that seems to look different from what I have seen? I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help him before I try take him to the vets or if anyone has experienced this too? Thanks

Hello,

It looks a bit off to me. The entire tail doesn't really look like it is going to shed at all. How long did it appear as
though it was going to shed? The rest of the tail looks normal color, like the rest of him.
For now, I would get some raw unpasteurized honey to put on it, even though the area isn't raw. Hopefully that will
help the area heal up.

Hello, thanks tracie I have bought some manuka honey I'm hoping that will help? I wasn't sure if he is going to shed I just noticed a couple of white patches on his body, mainly on his back legs. Do you have any idea how he may have injured his tail so I can avoid it happening again. Many thanks
