Hardened scales under tail?

Hello everyone!

I’m a beginner. I’ve looked through the forums and I can’t find my issue (or, I’m looking wrong!)

Chocolate the Australian blotched blue tongue has a section of hardened scales under her/his tail that seem to be constraining tail growth, as if a ring has been around the tail. Chocolate is less than a year old, much loved, and was bought from a reputable breeder (our local reptile zoo). Chocolate is about to finish more treatment (yuk).

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Could have been caused by a previous altercation with another one.
