AnswerHi Gabriel,
This type of red spot can be caused by fungus. The type like you seem to have usually doesn't cause problems. The red ring forms around some kind of damage such as from a little bug or physical damage. Just keep an eye on it. If it seems to be spreading, then it would be good to spray it with a fungicide. I usually see it on plants that have been in lower light combined with high humidity. Your plant is a bit on the pale side, so a bit more light would be good.
Good Growing!
