Red blotch on skim after swimming in Florida?

My girlfriend and I went swimming in the ocean in Boca Raton FL. Now she has red blotches on her skin that look kind of like spread out bug bites. They sting and sort of pinch a little. I was thinking sea lice, but am not really sure. I also have a slight stinging pinching sensation, but only a few small red dots. They appeared almost immediately after getting out of the water.

Update:

They vary in size from small to maybe a bit bigger than a quarter.
