Rust spots on my nitrided handpan — how worried should I be?

Found a few small orange spots on my 6-month-old nitrided handpan. I haven't been great about oiling. Is this fixable or do I need professional help?

Don't panic! Small orange spots are super common. Get some Froglube or Phoenix Oil, rub gently in circles. They should come right off. Then commit to oiling every 2 weeks!

Totally fixable. After I started oiling properly, never had the issue again. You caught it early which is good.
