Hi,
Could you say how big your tank is and how many fish you have in there?
The more info you can give the more help you can get on here.
The red marks could be nothing or could be septicemia which can be caused by bad water conditions.

Do they seem sunken or more like a lump?
Are they just on the belly of your fish?
Do you see marks in the tail of your fish at all?
What size is your tank?

Id say it was a bacterial infection. Your tank is overstocked and theres not enough being done in the way of water changes.
For now I would suggest doing 50% each day and either thinning out the stock you have or getting more tanks. Do you clean the gravel with a gravel cleaner?

whats the point if the water parameters ok, not being funny but doing a 50% water change daily would that cause the fish more stress?
the tank is looked after v,well water is checked 2 times a week filters done once a week as with the water. as for stock im trying to get rid of the WCMM any one want? free

So how do you check your bacteria level? You cant.
The only way of knowing is when your fish get sick, so to avoid it you must do regular water changes according to stocking levels.
The white clouds arent the problem here its too many goldies.
