July 27, 2017A.It's difficult to say from just a description. It could be the start of anthracnose disease, pests or even environmental stresses.
If you can upload an image to help us.You can also take samples to your County Extension Office, they can help you identify the issue.

This could be pests, some are very tiny.
Environmental causes, extreme heat can cause markings on peppers.
In most causes, washing the peppers is sufficient.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/pepper/jalapeno-skin-cracking.htm

56081Q.Sweet banana peppers
My Hungarian sweet banana peppers look fine on the outside, but when I cut them open they have brown spots on the inside. The spots do not go completely through the fruit. They are not visible on the outside. What is the cause and are they safe to eat?

Certified ExpertA.Although it is safe to eat, it is very unsightly and can affect the taste. I would chalk this up to a fungal issue. You can fix this in the soil by applying wettable sulfur and dolomitic lime to the soil around the plants.
