Dear friend, welcome to HCM!
It is not normal and you should see your physician about this problem.
Painful red spots could be due to vasculitis or septic emboli.
Or they may give a clue to the diagnosis.
Postin a photo of the lesions would help.
Take care and please keep me informed of your progress.
Good Luck!
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily.
Thank you!
