Courgette woes!

Hi all,
First time veggie gardener here looking for some courgette help!
I've noticed my courgette plants have started going bad at the tip of the female flowers and the leaves seem to be damaged round the edges too. Is this the dreaded blossom end rot people warn about? This has happened on the 2 plants I have in containers and also, to a lesser extent, to the 2 plants I have in raised beds. Up until now they've seemed healthy and have been producing plenty of courgettes.
Any advice would be really appreciated

The leaf curl is most likely nutrient deficiency. If you haven't already, start a feeding regime, courgettes are hungry plants.
I think end rot affects the courgette itself on the end that has the flower. From the image that is a spent flower that will dry up and drop off in any case.
