Usully not: the liittle blisters are skin peeling from damage from sunburn type first degree burn to skin.IF they get red streaks ,hot pus or increased pain get a consult ONLINE telemedicine physican evaluation would be appropriate

Sun burn issues: Sounds like a rather deep sun burn from the "bubbles" description. These are second degree blisters burns that heal over 2 weeks. If not healed than seek in person MD opinions and treatment..
