Hello there!
Thank you for asking,. Red dry patches after shower if they dont bother you with the itch or any complication, if you dont have deranged blood count like Polycythemia or you dont have any skin manifestation or immuno comromise status or any associated morbidity then i am sure it is just the complexion of the skin and you need nothing to worry about. try baths from a bucket with a mug.Use tapid water. It usually is also common people in high altitudes. No worries, If no bother dome, Redness which vanishes after an hour is nothing to worry about.

Good luck
