browny sticky stuff in the middle of the stem..help???

[regtyzack]

Today I noticed some brown stuff taking over the middle part of my stem it's kind of wet to touch but if i scrape it, it comes off with ease, can anyone inform me of what this may be and if there's a way to stop it from spreading to the whole plant? it's only happened within the last 3 days or so... i'm totally clueless and it's my dads plant which it is happening to but he's too lazy to search forums for answers so I'm doing it for him.
