Default light, dark spots (not deep) on red potato skin

Are light, dark spots (not deep) on red potato skin bad to eat?

I'd prefer not to peel the skin but after removing the deep spots, I
ended up peelign when I saw too many light spots. What are those?

You mean faint dark spots? Not a problem.

If you mean faintly dark spots, just signs the potato is starting to wilt.
Harmless til the whole thing gets bad. I cut them out because taste
suffers.

I thought so. After I bought it, I got too busy and was eating
out.

I figured that it wouldn't tastethe same. I bought quite a bit (for
one person) and I cooked 3 today with beef. I should cook the rest
soon.

Thansk for the info.
