I have an albino cory, and a red blood like stain has appeared at the bottom of its dorsal fin. Does this look like a disease or possibly an injury?

Hi and welcome!! Thanks for the pic! How do your tank parameters look (amm, nitrite, nitrate, ph)? I dont have experience with cories, but I would keep your water healthy & keep a close eye on him. Hopefully, its just an injury & he will heal up on his own with nothing special. If the blood area starts to spread or other blood areas appear at the base of other fins/body, definitely let us know!
 
Hi. I havent been able to check the water today, but the red mark has almost dissapeared so it was possibly an injury. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for your help!
