Don't scratch them! Just leave them alone, they should go away after a while. This is pretty common.

Could be sun poisoning, sounds terrible I know but it's simply what happens after exposure and a nice sunburn. Then again I'm not doctor and I can't see your arm.
If it is, you can take cool baths or showers, cover up the next time you're in the sun. More exposure will aggravate it.
Try not to scratch, keep it moisturized. You may peel, that is to be expected.
And remember your sunscreen next time your out.
It usually takes about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to clear up.
But if you don't see steady improvement call your doctor.
