It looks like a wound or a burn. Did the tip fall off recently? I suggest you apply some Betadine ointment on the tip twice a day to prevent infection. If it does not start to improve in a few days (ie: look less red) after starting treatment OR it looks worse at any time then you should get him to a vet for an exam.
