Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what your husband has. Red patches can represent so many different things. Some may be bleeding into the skin which is common with ageing while others may represent and infection like hand-foot and mouth disease. In order to provide a personalized and helpful answer, it would be great to have an image of these patches for review. Thereafter, I would be able to provide more helpful information on this.
