I also have the same thing on my snake plant!

To me it looks like edema from overwatering. That’s probably number one reason. Second would be switching to brighter light too quickly.

Hi! I’m so sorry to hear that you’re having issues with your plant. It unfortunately looks like it is infested with thrips. They create scratch like marks with black specks. They can be fairly difficult to fully eradicate but if you’re persistent you can make it. You can add the pest to your plant in plants and you’ll get access to the article for thrips treatment. And don’t forget to check any nearby plants as they spread quickly. 🐛
