Does Sunburn Make My Brown Skin Depigment?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­
Auckland, NZ

So recently I went to Australia and even though a good amount of sunblock was put on I still got very badly sunburnt. There are spots on my shoulders that usually get a little pink but this time it blistered. But iā€™m worried that the lower part of my neck and upper back is quite sunburnt as well and has started peeling and revealing lighter toned spots. Just wondering if these will depigment into spots or it is just how it usually is.
