"I think it probably was some form if irritation, and because penis skin is so sensitive, redness that follows irritation can last a long time. I Your doctors'' opinions that this is not an STD sound reasonable. My advice would be to ignore the redness for another 4 weeks, and don't put anything on it at all, other than moisture lotion if you want. If it's still there, show a doctor then."

 Hiya, sounds to me like Fordyce, but i'd not take that for a definate, and I'd go see the dr, but i've searched out the following information for you.
Fordyce spots: small (1-5mm) bright red or purple papules that can appear on the glans, shaft or scrotum and which usually affect younger men. They may occur as a solitary lesion, but frequently appear in crops of 50 to 100. They are painless and not itchy, but may cause embarrassment because of their appearance, or a fear that they might be sexually transmitted – which they are not! They are abnormally dilated blood vessels, covered by thickened skin. They may bleed if injured or even during intercourse. They are not infectious and their cause is unknown. Although a number of approaches have been tried, there is no simple, reliable treatment to remove them. Troublesome bleeding spots can be sealed with a device that uses a small electric current (electrocautery).

 it could be dermatitis, which is caused by friction during sex. they should go away eventually, and if they don't, he should definitely see a professional.
it also may just be a slight irritation.
good luck!!
