Answers:

This is probably caused by a yeast called Tinea Versicolor. It produces a fine scale on the surface of the skin which can peel off when you tan and leave behind pale areas. You can reduce the risk of getting this problem by using a dandruff shampoo containing zinc (e.g. Head and Shoulders) or selenium (e.g. Selsun) as a body wash a few times a week. These chemical help to keep the yeast down.
