Yes, a photo would help.

Does the red area have a white "fuzzy" rim around it? It could be a bacterial infection called columnaris. Furanace (generic name Nifurpirinol) will clear this.

It could also be a bacterial infection by Aeromonas if it lacks the white fuzzy edge.

See Columnaris and Ulcer disease in the link below:

What does the red spot look like? Is it like a pimple or just a red target looking thing?
A photo would really help so we can help you.
