During this time of year, I usually participate in sports activites. I get about 6-7 hours of exercise, outside, 5-6 days every week. During my second week of sports, I noticed I was getting an amazing amount of tiny bubbles all over my arms! This has never happened to me before.
The bubbles are, at most, 1 mm in diameter. The only appear in the area of my arm between my wrist and my elbow. They tend to stay closer to my wrist, though. When I pop these bubbles, they release a small quantity of water (which is probably just sweat, but why was there something holding the water in?). Also, I did NOT use sunscreen for that first week, and the temperature stayed between 85-95 degress Fahrenheit.
I'm relatively in shape, and don't have excessive weight. I have no known allergies. I have no major diseases. I have no idea what could be causing it, or whether it is dangerous to me. Post any other questions you may have about my situation, and please, give me your best answer!
Thanks.

It doesn't hurt before or after I pop them, and a few hours later it looks like my skin is just peeled. No pain at all, in case that changes anyone's answers.

I had the same problem from spending the day outside in the scroching sun. It was just my skin peeling becuase of the bad burn from the sun. Maybe next time try to stay out of the sun from certain hours when the sun is at its hottest rays such as 10-3, and if that is impossible then apply sunscreen more often.

That sounds a lot like what I had on my legs. I was in the sun for wayyy too long and they burned and got those little blisters. They kept popping up even after the burn went away. You probably got sunburned and the the dots are just sun blisters. Take care of yourself and put sunscreen on! If any weird freckles turn up have them checked out.

I've had those before and I'm still alive. I have also had my skin checked for cancer and nothing. You do need to start wearing sunscreen all the time while outdoors though, because the cause for your bubbles is sunburn, you don't want to let it happen too often!

Do they hurt.? It sounds like you need to use sunscreen more often. When you do sports, you sweat, and the sunscreen could come off sooner, so just apply it more often since it sounds like your skin is sensitive.

You have an awful sunburn with pretty extensive skin damage. Be careful, you can get sun poisoning. Also, if you continually get these severe sunburns you will be more likely to develop skin cancer.

does it feel or look like a sunburn? Other things it could be is poison ivy or oak. If somebody you were playing against rubbed against your arm and had poison ivy or oak it would spread to you. Are the blisters itchy?
