Does A Tender Red Spot Below The Knee While On Warfarin Suggest Blood Clot?

My husband has a red spot below the knee the size of a orange. It is tender to touch but does not feel hot. He has been diagnosed with blood clots in the past and is still taking warfarin (7.5mg. a day). Did not know if you could get a blood clot while taking warfarin?
