What Causes Red Bumps On Penis With Layer Of Skin After Intercourse?

Sometimes after I have sex or masturbate and don't wash my penis I will end up with a red bump on the head of my penis. It doesn't hurt or sting or burn it's about 4mm round, and forms a head or flakes off a layer of skin. I've been to the STD clinic they say it's nothing. Any thoughts?
