Can you post a picture?
Is it a Pigeon Blood? If so that is called peppering and there is nothing you can do about it.

[AlexC]

yes is it on that kind of discus also on another red disucs and yellow discus too! how come when I bought them in shop they dont have it at all? can you tell me why ? Is it my water has problem or too much light?

It's genetic Alex, though some say a dark bg/tank does bring it out more but lower quality PBs do have a tendency to peppering.
I have 2 one has more than the other but they both have some.

yes its vary true I have some with peppering not a lot because I'm not a fan of it. but its lighting and how dark parts of the tank are.

Without pictures I would guess the red & yellow discus have PB genes in them.

When PB based fish are stressed or in a tank that has a darker background the peppering will show more. Check your water parameters and see if your tank is fully cycled.
