Looks like scale to me, maybe brown soft scale. If so then remove with a Q tip with hydrogen peroxide on it. Spray with neem oil 🤷🏼‍♀️ isolate from other plants

You can research the lifecycle and learn a lot how to get rid of it

Almost looks like it’s under a microscope!

Wipe as many scales of the leaf as possible. I use diluted alcohol spray on my plants. Definitely isolate this plant from others and treat it for the pest infestation for a least three weeks. I would cut off highly infested leaves
