If this thing appeared unexpectedly, this can be Edema. It usually means that the plant was staying in wet soil for a long time. It absorbed too much water. That is why it gets edema.
Luckily, it's relatively easy to treat edema - simply put, you just need to allow your plant's soil to dry up a bit before watering it again. This will give it a chance to recover and re-adjust. PS: these spots won’t disappear. But they won’t grow in the future if you maintain good condition for the plant.

@BalancedCacto I believe this is a Springtime Crassula.
Springtime crassula needs sufficient scattered light which should be bright and transparent. If there is not sufficient sunlight for a long time, the plant will be spindling, the tissue will become brittle, and the original color will fade slowly. It will grow into a loose shape, the color will turn green and yellow, and the resistance will decline.

Definitely not a hoya. A succulent for sure. You should post to #succulentsquad and I'm sure they can identify the plant and issue for you!
@FitSedum could the brown spots be from sunburn? Btw this is my moms plant… and it didn’t look like this two weeks ago when I was at her house… 😖😖😖
@FirstCanna it could if it wasn’t slowly introduced to brighter lighting. It could also be edema from overwatering. Hoyas require more water than succulents. If you have been following the Hoya care guidelines, it’s being overwatered and under-exposed to light. Move it closer to the window and don’t water for another twoweeks. It’ll survive but the scars will remain. This is definitely a succulent.
@PlantMompy thanks for the tag! As others have said, this is *not* a Hoya plant. This appears to be a succulent of some kind. That being said, edema (as @vvvelo talked about) seems to be the culprit. When succulents are overwatered, edema scars can arise. Be sure your soil is well draining!
