there is this stuff growing? all over the side of my cactus. it has spred a lot because it was at the rear of the plant, and i didn't notice.

can anyone please tell me what it may be, i dont have a clue as yet. Also if you know what it is can you tell me some way to get rid of it?

I've uploaded them for you to save time

looks like some sort of scale, really has taken over hasn't it. Is it potted? Can you take it somewhere outside and get a soft toothbrush and see of you can gently brush a lot of it off, see if you can get down to the "live" stuff at least that should make it a little easier to treat

I find a systemic insecticide such as Rogor is useful in extreme cases like this
