@jamil shafi,
What you read may have referred to infra-red light, not the color "red" within white light.
Without looking it up, I suspect that infra-red (heat) penetrates into the skin and feels warm, but I don't think it has the same damaging effects that Ultra-Violet light does.
I believe it's only the higher frequency light which causes skin problems. But it's been a long time since I read about this stuff, so I'm not sure.
