It could also be heat rash.
When a sweaty part of the body is not cleaned soon enough, it could cause the latent acids on the skin (salt, and other things lost through sweat) to create a rash. You can treat it by appling Malox to the area (the strong base neutraslizes the acids and clears the rash in 15-20 minutes). Because of the pimples, I think it more likely a Heat Rash.
If it is just sun burn, apply an Aloe-Vera Cream/Gel to speed up the healing process and use atleast SPF 15 sunscreen in the future.

Yes - some people get rashes from the sun.
Learn to avoid the sun as best you can.
Wear protective clothing, and/or a good sunscreen.

If you have used sunscreen, you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to one or more of the ingredients in it---especially if the sunscreen container has been opened for awhile. Hydrocortisone cream will help the itching, and calm down the rash---if it is severe you may need to consult a physician.
