Red blemish

This morning I woke with a couple of red spots on the head of my penis. Recently my girlfriend and I had unprotected sex but. I havn't had any itching or burning in the area and the spots are not raised they are just red spots. I have been diagnosed with prostitus. I am scared because I don't have the symptoms of herpes but I have these red spots please help.

This doesn't sound like herpes and it isn't related to prostatitis. If the red spots are completely flat, i.e. not at all raised or irritated, perhaps slight bruising (a hickey) from oral sex.
