What Causes Red Spots On Shins After Getting Sun Burn?

Hi, I was in 85 degree Fahrenheit weather from 11am-4pm four days ago and developed a second degree sunburn. My face is already pealing nicely, but my chest and legs are still in a lot of pain. Should I be concerned about a large number of red spots that have recently appeared on my shins? What are they? BTW I don t have freckles.
