What Causes Liquid Discharge From The Skin Along With Sun Burn?

Hi I'm Lucy, yesterday I spent almost for hours outside in the sun without sunscreen. I was a bright red, I only got sunburned on my forehead, nose, and the apples of my cheeks. I put some lotion on it and some aloe Vera stuff and now its a bit lighter but now there's these droplets of something coming out! I have absolutely know idea what's happening the liquid is clear and comes out in droplets- please help me, it doesn't hurt but I want to get back to normal ASAP. I am 14, 5'1 1/2, I weigh 117, and have always burned easily.
