Irregular watering can cause cells to rupture, leading to these spots. Ensure consistent watering habits.  
Temperature fluctuations or low humidity may cause this. Maintain temperatures between 65-85°F (18-30°C) and consider increasing humidity.  
Inspect for pests like spider mites or signs of fungal infection. Treat with neem oil or appropriate solutions if necessary.  
Some Ficus elastica varieties have reddish edges, though the spots in the image appear more irregular.

Thanks a lot!!! I'll try to be more consistent with the watering, and increase the humidity!
