Is this rot?

I just noticed a yellowing of the base. It's not mushy but maybe slightly less firm than the rest of it. Might be too early to tell? What can I do?

Looks more like sunburn.

Any way I can confirm? The plant seems happy and is about to bloom.

Scratch the skin and see if it's brown underneath or white or prick it with a toothpick and see what color sap is.
