What Do Red Dots Under Penis Foreskin Indicate?
The area underneath my foreskin has red dots. The red dot area once pulled back just looks like inflamed tiny blood vessels with no bumps? This has happened twice after oral sex. But there is also a possibility it may have appeared after not properly cleaning up after masturbation? Could it be a yeast infection or just inflammation/friction from the oral sex?

In short: If its Fordyce spots(white spots) then need not worry
Explanation: Fordyce spots are visible sebaceous glands which are harmless. As you thought allergy to semen/not cleaning up of smegma can cause allergy and red spots like this.
For time being you can clean your glans and wait for 2-3 days. If it does not subside then visit a doctor.
