Small bruises as you describe are common in the 40's and thereafter and often take 10-14 days to disappear . Not a sign of STD at all . No worries please

Agree with Dr. Menter. You probably had minor trauma to the site that you may not have noticed at the time. If the lesion does not disappear in two weeks, ulcerates, bleeds, or multiple other bruises appear, it would be prudent to see a doctor.
