Is this a health concern?

I noticed this frosty stuff on my exhiveria and other unidentified succulent, I’m worried it’s some kind of fungus especially since I recently overwatered them and incorrectly handled a wound on the echiveria.

Hi @CarefreeRedpine this picture looks like the protective layer on your plant had been rubbed off. Since it’s now got spots of unprotected leaves you need to stop touching it or rubbing it. Keep it from direct sun over the next few days to protect against sunburn. And don’t mist the plant or allow water to pool on it.
Could it just be water stains? I know mine get that since my water has a lot of calcium. Could you also try sending a picture with better lighting?
@Succulent_Soul it might be stains. I tried rubbing them off just now and they came off, but it seems the whole of both plants is covered in less extreme dust stuff since it was a way more vibrant green underneath. I’m not familiar with either of these guys and unfortunately can’t get a better photo since it’s so late at night for me.
Can you potentially send one tomorrow?
@Succulent_Soul are these photos better?
