Lettuce With Brown/Dark Purple Spots on Leaves

I'm new to planting veggies, so I am not very experienced at all.
I planted some 2 butterhead lettuces indoors in late march, and just transplanted them a few weeks ago each 2 weeks apart. They were looking spindly before transplanting but had no spots on the leaves. After a week of being outside the leaves of each got these became full and grew bigger leaves, but also had brown/purple spots all over. The spots feel just like the rest of the leaf, they are not on the surface but ingrained into the leaf. I added about 30% almost finished compost to my soil and later eggshells to control slugs and that's it. Has anyone encountered this or know what's happening, is it still edible?
