 Peyote red spots, HELP PLEASE!

I recieved this peyote 9 days ago, I didn't give it too much light the first and second day, I started giving sunlight through an onnion paper at the third day, removing the paper if the day is cloudy/mostly cloudy. After the 7th day these oxide red spots were noticed, does anybody know what's happening to the plant? is it sunburned maybe? does a fungus attack look like that?
thank you so much for your help, I include a picture taked the fifth day (before.jpg) and another one taked today (now.jpg)
the orange circle marks the same point in both pictures

Did you overwater? Looks like an infection, I should leave it bare root for at least a week or two then repot it in clean dry soil. If you keep it wet it will rot away.
Remember that lophophora preferes mostly mineral substrate, what do you have there? Peat moss!?

I gave it water just once but it lasted too much time to dry out (looks like the soil is very packed). The store's guy told us that it needed water becouse they starve them to make the alkaloid content higher. I can't tell you about the substrate becouse I'm a begginer. Which soli mix do you recomend me? I think I'm going to go ahead with your advice but I'm afraid about talking the right care washing the roots... How should I proceed?
thank you Agarico!

I have some peyote red spots and wondered what they are exactly. Maybe our resident expert Una might know. But I'll certainly take help from anyone. I posted in this old thread to show that the question occurs sometimes, and that I did do a search first to no conclusive answers.

...or something

peyotes are fairly resistent to bad treatment, make sure you read a lot on cactus growing before taking any moves (repotting, cutting, etc)...
also make sure you're playing on the 'dry' side, too much water can easily help infections to spread out, or root rotting...
and for lighting, whatever you do, do it gradually...
good luck!
and congrats!
