Hi Leo

Your citrus fruit discoloration Is caused by rust mites. They are very tiny and can't be seen by the naked eye. They normally attack the skin so the Inside looks normal. It's just a cosmetic damage but, if you want to get rid of them spray horticultural oil when the weather is fine every month to get rid of the annoying pest.

Happy GARDENING :-)
