Are these signs of flat mite infestation?  
I got this Hoya a week ago from Home Depot and noticed these brown spots on the underside of some of the leaves. Is there anything else I can do to identify them and what are some recommended treatment? Thank you!

I’m not sure. Some of my overly dry hoyas look like that. But, the second photo with the beige covering both the leaf stem and leaf is alarming.

I think would return it since it has only been one week since you bought it. I’m too terrified of flat mites to take the risk of keeping it anywhere my other plants. I’ve invested too much time and effort in my plant family to risk it.🪴🍀
