Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. This can have many causes, and will usually need some form of treatment.

Most likely, it is a fungal/bacterial infection. Typically, this is caused by soil that does not have a chance to dry out between waterings, or overwatering.

The first step is to treat the infection. Depending on where the infection occurs on the leaf, exactly, and how it looks, exactly, it could have different pests.
