I believe the answer is:

omits

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doesn't include' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'moist patch?' is the wordplay.
'moist' can be anagrammed to 'OMITS'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omits that I've seen before include "skips" , "Leaves out or neglects" , "misses out" , "Forgets" , "overlooks" .)
