Reddish, Freckle-like Dots on Head of Penis After Sex

Hi. Recently, after intercourse with my girlfriend of 4 years, I noticed about 20 or so small, dark red or brownish freckle-like dots on the head of my penis. They're is no pain or itching, no discharge, and they aren't raised at all. I noticed them within an hour of intercourse. I'm a little freaked out because I can't seem to find any information. The potential of an STD is unnerving to say the least. Any help would be infinitely appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
It can be due to petechiael spots as a result of trauma to the skin after intercourse and friction rub. Petichiae are due to minute hemorrhage of blood below the skin. They should go away in a few days. But if they persist then please consult a physician and get other causes ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
