Help! My monstera was doing great, then this started happening! Is this a plant disease, or are there pests doing this (I don’t see any)?

my first thought was scale bugs.

If you don’t see any, give her an everything shower. Get in all groves!! And spray with neem oil, water with insecticide, and isolate her the best you can.

Please keep in mind that this is worst case scenario and if you haven’t seen any, I am basing it off of the damage and that small glimpse of white dots.  
But I would rather tell you my worst fears than say “oh it’s prob low humidity” 😅

If there are no bugs i would say low humidity. But I agree those white dots look suspicious.
