This is rust, right?

My cactus started to look extra crispy lately, especially on top and around the new growth. Only the top part is affected. I haven't treated yet, I just want to make sure this is really rust first.Thank you for your help

I don't think either are ''rust'' The top of the plant was damaged a while ago from something. Probably mites or possibly some kind of rot. The other pic is too out of focus.

I found a magnifier app so you can see more details

Yes it looks like old mite damage which may have lead to a secondary infection. Keep it dry and dust with sulphur powder.
