Does my thunbergia alata have some sort of disease?

Hi everyone, sorry for spamming these forums with questions these last few months - I've been growing thunbergia alata from seed since November. I think they're doing pretty well, but one plant has these nasty red pustules on some of the leaves. I pulled them off and have photos below - does anyone know what this is/what it means/what I need to do? I've got a photo of the rest of the plants for context. Thanks :)

    Scale insects, maybe? They tend to cluster along the veins to suck the sap.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Thanks @JennyJ - ah I hope not, I've got so many houseplants in here!
    I can't seem to spot any on the plant, but I'll keep a close eye just in case
