Help with violent \'scabs\' on my succulent?

Baton Rouge, LA

Does anybody have an idea what could be these 'scabs' on my ghosty? First I noticed only two which I thought could be due to mechanical damage since my plants are spending the winter on a south facing window in a barn with construction going on. So my first idea was that something external had scarred them. But now I see that the scabs just keep multiplying and I'm out of ideas! Is something eating my ghosties? These blisters appear on old and young leaves, bottom and top. Thank you.

I have never seen this on any of my succulents. I wonder if putting little alcohol would help. I would try on one of them and see what happends.

Strange indeed....it could be oedema due to overwatering..the soils looks rather moist..I would suggest you allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again

I believe that oedema is the cause because there haven't been any new ''blisters'' since the last watering. I think it happened because I decreased the watering frequency due to winter period and then watered it too ŗichly...

not surprising I have seen this on many succulents...very common on jades though the expression is slightly different.....it will be cool to see it recover
