This looks much like bacterial necrosis. It is not an easy condition to control, as that is mostly by way of keeping all infected materials away and off of the cactus. Any infected parts of the plant should be thrown away. This includes the arms.

This article will give you more information on what it takes to get rid of this disease.

Without treatment, they can be. And larger ones are quite heavy.
