Holes where flower buds fell off trigger trypophobia ☠️😵 is it safe to scrape them off?

This fatalii is my 9th pepper plant, and none of the previous ones had such obnoxious holes like this before! Just noticing it makes me itch and get goosebumps all over 😵☠️

What can I do here? I try to look away as much as I can, but sometimes you can accidentally glance

I'm wondering if it's safe to scrape the holes gently off with a knife or something

Aaaahhh why does my fatalii plant have holes like this???

This is my 9th type of pepper, and I don't recall recall any of the previous peppers I've grown having dotted spots like this before! Is this normal?

This really really bothers me I itch all over when I see them! 😡😣😵☠😭 And it's not just one spot - there are many spots like this on the plant

  • Aji delight - cutting planted in soil in mid Feb after rooting in water
  • Both cutting and mother plant in same 7" terracotta pots
  • Cutting is only ~6" tall

But it's already spitting out flower bulbs - not getting any noticeably bigger in the last couple weeks. 😓 Any idea why? How can I encourage it to get bigger instead?

The mother plant was 2~3ft tall before it started growing flower bulbs... 🤔
