@Dr_mslm an even closer photo would help, but it looks like that *might* be a fungus.
You can try moistening your thumb then rub hard to see if it comes off. If it comes off, it’s probably a mold like rust. It could also be a pest. There’s a chance it’s also natural browning of the leaf due to an imbalance of water or sunlight. A closer photo would help clarify.

Hey @Dr_mslm 👋
These are spider mites. They’re tiny pests that feed off your plant’s sap which causes the leaf to discolor.
They spin webs along the leaf, but the actual pests are the reddish dots. I’ve circled a few here! You’ll want to isolate this plant ASAP so they don’t spread. I find neem oil to be most helpful with mites. Mix a tsp each of neem oil and dish soap in a spray bottle and treat it once a day for seven days and once a week for a month or so. I hope this helps — we’re always here if you have any questions along the way
