Is this type of fretboard damage fixable? (lemmy.world)

This is a Fender Eric Clapton Strat built in 1990 that I bought myself for my 30th birthday as it was the same age.

I played it a bit and this happened. Not sure if it was already damaged and I made it worse or if the old strings caused the damage. There was no noticable damage when I bought it.

Is this type of thing possible to fix? Or will it need a new neck?

Thank you! (First post on Lemmy!)

I'm not sure exactly what in the photo is the wear is you're referring to. I'd say if it plays fine you're fine.
