Scale or scarring? ðŸĪ”

I've got this #dragonfruit cactus that I got from @Colin a few months ago and I've noticed these light brown markings on it... I'm entirely unsure if there's more of them than when I first got it cuz my memory sucks butts... Anyways, what do y'all think? It's it anything to be worried about or is it probably nothing?

Have you tried scratching them off? If so, I just say scale and start treating. If not, the scarring would be embedded into the flesh and it would not be easily removed by scratching 😅
@dreamlettuce I was able to scratch one spot off, but it was not an easy task... Pretty sure I bruised the plant in the process. Lol 😅

It was a couple hours ago but this is what the spot I scratched off looks like now...
Now that I see these start treating it for scale. Just in my opinion.
@Yeeha234 yeah I probably will tonight once there's not so much direct sun hitting it. Just in case. Hopefully alcohol will do the trick, cuz I can't afford Neem/insecticidal soap...
Idk about your plant, but love the dragon prince reference for the name haha 🐉âœĻ
Thank you @AstroMind! (: Haven't seen the newest season(s?) but I love that show... Zym is adorable. (:
