What Causes White Spots On Arms After Getting A Sun Burn In Pregnancy?

I am 21 weeks pregnant and went to the beach for memorial day. I used Spf but still got burnt. Now after the burn is gone and peeled, I have white spots all over both of my arms. I was wondering if I should be concerned? Is it just an apart of a pregnancy mask ?
