Ive been taught... Heat the skillet. Boil a bit of water. Pour water in . Swish around. Wipe it down. Put skillet back on low flame ( to let excess moisture escape) then oil up

Looks like mine. Not rust. Just add a few layers of seasoning if you want. Good to go!

That bronze look is just the cast iron. You’ll be fine seasoning on top of it.

That looks like your seasoning has been flaking away. I have one that did that once. You can either strip it down using lye or e tank or you can just keep seasoning over it
Thank you! I wasn’t sure but didn’t seem rusty to me. I appreciate your help
If you are worried that it may be rust, you could hit those spots with a scotch Brite pad or some salt and a rag first to make sure you take away any rust that may be there, and then go ahead and season it right over.
