This is a fungal infection. This is usually caused by the soil remaining too wet for too long. It can be treated easily, but it will be best to maintain the plant properly to avoid future infection.

The next time that you water it, just replace 1/4 of that with peroxide. Water this in once, and it will kill off the infection. You may notice a little damage from the treatment, but it will be followed by aggressive growth.
