Hi, thank your for posting.
I read your query very carefully and I can say that the red spots in your stomach are extended blood vessels. Those are localized on the duodenum, and are prevalent in stomach, sometimes the internal view is like watermelon, or it is called honeycomb stomach.
Red spot is secondary disease and has a cause that can be:
1. Liver Cirrhosis.
2. Morbus raynaud(blood vessel disease).
To find the cause you need intravenous cholangiography and abdominal ultrasound.
So you should contact a hepatologist.
Take Care.
