If these are outside, then possibly. If they are in window light, then you won't, usually, have to worry about sunbleaching.

This can also be caused by overwatering, or not letting the soil dry out just a touch before watering again. The most common cause of what you are seeing is, exactly, this.

If moving to a less heavily lit spot doesn't help, you will want to look to a fungicide.
