Dried spots at the base of the middle leaf and a strange spot on a phalaenopsis

[Dimples]

Not having seen the plant in person, it looks completely normal and I suspect you removed two healthy and functional leaves. Sometimes the connection point along the stem can look a bit rough, especially if leaves hang around a long time, but it doesn’t require that much tissue to maintain a functional connection between leaf and stem. Unless the leaves pull away from the stem *very* easily, don’t take them off.
