Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am afraid that it is not possible to diagnose this just based on a picture. This usually will require an examination and basic diagnostics. I am suspicious that he has been biting at his tail and this is possibly due to allergies. I recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to diagnose his condition so that he can be started on therapy. Good luck!
