How to get rid of permanent sunburn/tanned skin?

Treatment sun damage: It sound as if you are describing brown and red discoloration related to long-term sun exposure. This can often be treated with a combination of topical products and laser surgery. I suggest you consult with an expert laser surgeon in your area.
