@SvelteKingfern & @TidyTigerpear I tried and it did not budge but I was afraid of damaging it so I wasn't sure how much pressure to use
Not much pressure.
So, it isn't scale; it's good news. It looks, most probably, like physical damage. I can't see with much clarity, but if the outer rim is yellowish and translucent, it may be bacterial or fungus. If there is no sign of translucency, then it's a healed physical damage (nothing to worry about).

I’ve never seen anything like that before ! I thought it was spot but it’s actually like a growth 😳😅 or pimple as you said… I’m not sure what this could be it still could be some type of fungal thing , it almost looks like root nodes starting to grow but I don’t know if that’s what it is, It just reminds me of it.
I too thought at the beginning that it was on the surface. It is a healthy tissue for sure. It's not an infection of any kind. It could be root nodes, or flower buds. It's too early to say for sure. The cactus looks perfectly healthy. If these things are root nodes (we'll see in the future), this may indicate that the cactus needs more water, and grows aerial roots in search for water. @TidyTigerpear
