That's disgusting and disappointing!This has happened to mine before but it did fine with peroxide to the rot and sealed it with wood ash.
This might work for yours but that one will die or continue to rot unless you cure it before repotting.

Re: Brown Spots in skin
They have grown fast in the last two weeks from just a few spots into this so I had no idea what is happening.
It is a nice cactus and I didn't want to loose it! I am hoping for the best!

Re: Rotting
Maybe there is a large worm hiding on some of your cacti,they can do quite a bit of damage.

Re: Your advice on cacti getting too HOT!
I did notice the soil cooking!I had never seen anything like that before!
I will work on some ventilation and add a thermometer because vinyl does get hot.
They have never had any signs cooking or dying due to high heat.
