I have woke up this morning to see the tip of joeys tail has turned black. Previously it has never been black but it was different from the rest of the tail as seen here https://ibb.co/n6K76Q
People on the forum advised me to put specific cream on it which I have done however this morning Joeys tail looks black. Please help I am so worried.

I would have a vet look at it. It looks like there is some stuck shed there that cut off circulation but I'm not positive. Only a vet can say for sure what it is and amputate the tip of the tail.

The tip of the tail is definitely necrotic, but it looks like his body is isolating it. The tip will fall off after some time. Keep an eye on it and keep it clean. If it continues to spread any further, you'll need to set an appointment with a vet.
