I would ask what are you using to moisturize. Gold Bond, Aveeno, and even mineral oil help restore your skin's moisture and can repair it. Mineral oil does wonders for my skin after a shower. You can even try applying vaseline all over your body at night. It sounds like your skin is just peeling, I don't know if you were tanned and now it's going away. It's probably just your body's way of repairing itself, but you need to moisturize constantly. That should help.
