Tail rot?

Hello, I’m a first-time bearded dragon owner and I’m extremely worried about the possibility of my own having tail rot. She’s (very roughly) a 12 to 10 months old, and the tip of her tail already had the two “chips“ in it when I was given her, which was around when she was 6 months old. I noticed today that her tail seemed darker than usual.
The last photo I’m attaching is regrettably low-quality, but I took it a week ago and noticed her tail seems to have a similar dark gradient there.

Please get some raw unpasteurized honey on the end of her tail --- NO crickets in the tank --- it looks like its dead and going to fall off the honey is going to stop infection - we want to stop the infection before it gets further up to the next notch -- please keep an eye on it take pics of it if you haft to so you can watch it --- when the end falls off keep putting honey on it till it scabs over -- I am going to have someone else look at it to see if they have other advice as well --
