    Looks like maybe edema? What’s your watering schedule been like lately? Or is there more humidity lately? It’s hard to tell from this photo, but the soil looks moist. May be shadow from the other pad, though. If it ends up being just a watering issue, hopefully it’s been caught early enough to rebound. The plant still looks healthy otherwise. It’s not mushy, blackened, etc. The other possibility (that you don’t want) is cactus bugs. I can’t remember their technical name, but they drink the sap. Have you seen bugs on the plant? There should be sprays or soaps to help get rid of them.

      haven't seen any bugs on it recently, but they did have cochineal when they were given to me. I had three paddles gifted to me by a friend about a month ago because the mother plant was far gone, i haven't watered yet, as i'm waiting for roots. the paddles are still firm and plump, so i'm pretty sure there's still hope.

      Interesting… it sounds like you might have a fighting chance to get these guys to a recovered and healthy place! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
