Seeking advice - shiro utsuri with red spot on fins

I have discsovered my shiro utsuri has a red spot on its caudal fin - i have been monitoring for several days and it seems to be fading, but now I noticed a second red spot on the dorsal fin. The spot appears to be raised. I haev not caught the fish yet to further investigate...I do have a "sick pond" waiting, but I first wanted to get some thoughts.

The water quality seems fine...I don't see spots on any other fish...and the shiro is acting fine, in fact is the most aggresive feeder at the moment and seems quite liverly swimming around. I got her about a month ago (along with any fish that has no spots), she is 10 years old and about 27 inches long.

Here are some pics, sorry quality not great, hard to shoot pics while feeding with the other hand (I included the "head shot" for fun).

Any advice appreciated.
