Hi, i am 18 years old and today i found that i had a few pin head sized red blotches on the head of my penis. they are not bulging out or swollen. I had masturbated the night before so i was wondering if that was what made it happen? i was grippping to hard or something like that? It has got me quite worried over whether it is a STD or harmful to me. Please help,

It doesn't sound like an STD. Any vigorous rubbing of any skin surface can cause microscopic hemorrhage into the skin, which is harmless and would resolve within a few days. Other than that I can't speculate. If it doesn't clear up, see a health care provider.
