The plant might have leaf spot disease
If your plant’s leaves have small brown spots trimmed in yellow, this could be a sign that it has leaf spot disease, which is a fungus or bacteria that feeds on the leaves. If this is the case, don’t start planning a plant funeral just yet. This problem is treatable. It is best to immediately remove the affected leaves and isolate the plant from your other greenery for a bit.
“To treat leaf spot disease, put a tablespoon or two of baking soda and a teaspoon or two of mineral oil in a spray bottle of water. Shake the solution well and then spray all areas of the plant that are infected with brown spots. It may take a couple of applications before the bacteria is totally gone.
Indoor Caladium plants require a medium light area with protection from midday sun, which will scorch the leaves. A northern or eastern window is usually the best exposure.

Can you take some tape and gently pull it off? Then maybe you will have a better idea of what you're up against.
Do you see any webbing in the soil? That could be a sign of spidermites likes @WickedValkyrie said. It's really hard to tell from the picture.
Spidermites are super hard to see anyway!
Thanks for the tag, @KikiGoldblatt
