I assume it's on the tail and not on the body of the fish and I will also assume it's only on one side of the fish. In that case the most likely answer is a bacteria infection. Try treating for 7-10 days with Furanace or Marycn and see if it improves. If not post another question with a few more details or drop me a line and we'll see what we can do.

Platys are prevalent for being services to catching ailments easily. it may well be a great theory to isolate him by skill of putting him in a newborn saver (the internet variety) so he will not be able to unfold the micro organism to the others. there is likewise a sickness called Dropsy. save an eye fixed out for that. If it sounds like his scales are pushed forward (like a pine cone) then he's in probability of die quickly.
