Does anyone know if these darker brown areas on my aloe are anything to be concerned about?

The ones on the edge I don’t thing mean anything (not positive though).

The ones on the stem - are they soft and kind of like a blister? That’s usually a sign of overwatering or root rot for my snake plants - they are very easy to overwater, especially if you’re keeping them in a low light area.

FWIW, I find Planta initially tells me to water most my plants more often than they need, but in particular the app tends to way overdo it on my snake plants, so I’d check the soil/roots and repot if necessary. They can reroot in soil pretty well - just keep them dry!

If the spots feel harder, it’s likely just scar tissue from cosmetic damage.
