Is this the white bug?

I can’t tell wether this is the white cactus bug. Can you help? This cactus has had the bug before.
Last watered 6 months ago
Turns out it was rotten 😭😭😭. What can I do to help the rest?
Cut off all the dead or rotten parts, sit it on your counter for a few days to callous over, pot up in fresh cactus soil, let it rest for a week or so, then start watering as you usually would. Don’t forget these guys like full sun and to go bone dry between waterings. You might even want to wait a few more days once you notice it’s dry, before you water. Good luck πŸ’šπŸŒ±
