What is it called when a part of the protective layer of skin has been permanently damaged by sunburn?

Poiklioderma: This may be what you are talking about its a red/brown discoloration with small vessels and pigments. Its common to see on the throat and neck where we often neglect to put on sunscreen. There are some lasers that can correct this such as the Long Pulse 532
