Hi,
Was the sex protected?
If you have used condoms or some creams/gels these bumps might be an allergic rash.

In which case it will settle down with oral anti-histamines, Loratidine is a non-sedating one.

It may also be just a reaction to the irritation of the penile skin, which will subside on its own in a couple of days.
You can apply an aloe-vera gel/cream or Calamine lotion on the area to soothe the skin.
Herpetic lesions start as bumps but soon become blisters and are usually associated with a burning type of pain.

Red dots might be friction. If it goes away don't worry about it. It probably will. Herpes is a remote possibility but I doubt it. If you see blisters or it pops up by itself get tested.
