Had Sunburn On Feet. Feet Color Changed To Purple, Calf Feel Heavier. Risk Of Blood Clot?

Hi, I am on holiday and have sunburnt my feet 4 days ago which resulted in them turning patchy purple colour. When I stand it is worse I figured this is due to blood flow? My left foot is slightly worse and my calf seems to feel heavier or tingle sensation, I also have a varicose Cain in the same calf - is there risk of blood clotting etc?
