Default Dark spots on Galeopetalum pseudobulb

Here's the picture. The spots have a dark ring around them and a kind of yellow/brown center. I haven't dissected one yet. I'm not sure if they are spreading (in number or size) but now I have this photo to compare later.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Galeopetalum - a member of the zygopetalum family. Zygos seem pretty prone to black spotting - usually on the leaves. I have a few, but they don't suffer - possibly because I can grow them cool and humid. I think it could be just the usual spotting but this time on the pseudobulb - I don't think there is much you can do about it - it the plant seems otherwise healthy I would not worry.

It's old mechanical damage, with tissue dying around the injury. These don't like to dry out and they don't like warm temperature.
