I had sunburn and i peeled it off, and now it has turned brown more like of a dark spot, will it vanish soon?

Yes: Those type of brown spots are common after a sunburn. It is the skins natural reaction to the information that comes with the bird. It will most likely go away, and the best thing to do is protect it with High SPF sunscreen, which will also help prevent additional burns.
