Skin remains red after a bad sun burn because:

inflammation causes increased blood flow.

Explanation:

When our skin is exposed to sun rays, the epidermal layer starts getting damaged. The damage to the cell caused by sun rays triggers the melanin secretion. Increased secretion of melanin results in darkening of the exposed region.

However, the damage and inflammation to the skin increases blood flow to the skin, this causes reddening of the skin.
