Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I can't see the problem directly. I can say that the most typical causes are under and ovewatering. You said you repotted recently, and going up too large will make the soil hold water. They don't mind being a little on the cramped side. They need a VERY light soil. Cactus soil is ideal. This article will help you with the care of, and fixing an overwatered plant:
