I would cut if off and throw it out it appears to have some type of fungal or bacteria disease and letting it go will let the plant direct that energy to new or healthier leaves

Thank you !! And do i put something for where i cut it?

I cut any leaf that’s 50% damaged. This looks pretty close to that so I would chop it right at where the leaf meets the stem in hope of new growth or if you don’t want to risk leggy growth then chop it at the base.

No it will seal itself.
