Hello! Can anyone help me to understand what is wrong with my Prickly Pear Cactus? I bought this cactus a month ago. When I purchased it, it was all green. Then these brown scars started to appear.

I unfortunately find these scars looking like feeding damages and I would recommend that you examine it for mites or thrips. Also treat it to prevent further damages.
