Skin shedding
I recently (a week ago) visited beach for vacation. For last two days my skin color has changed to red and had started to peel off. Pretty sure it's dead skin. Is this normal?

It seems that you have skin burns... this is a step ahead of skin tan. So when the skin burns it basically 'dies ' (I speak in lay man terms) and this skin starts shedding which means that you are now healing. But remember, next time you visit the beach use lots of sun Screen ( water resistant). Plus if the peeling doesn't stop after 7 to 10 days visit your dermatologist .
