Don’t believe there’s a treatment for this type of disease in goldfish. Can try some furan2 and levamisole with repeat dosing.

IDK it doesn't look like a disease to me, looks more like a neurological issue going on. Could've very easily knocked a screw loose by raminging into the tank or decor. As for the red patch that could also be evidence that it's hitting things inside the tank or the tank itself.

Either way tho it's very odd behavior.
