When did Michael Jackson develop vitiligo?
The skin disease Michael has is called Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition resulting from loss of pigment which produces white patches. Michael was diagnosed with it in 1986. When he first saw signs of the disease, the patches were barely noticeable. But as he became more stress out from the pressures of the media, the white patches started growing rapidly. At one point, he had a big white patch on his right hand, and that's why he started the one sequenced glove trend. If you look at pictures of him in the early 80s, you can see spots on his face where he tried to cover the white patches with makeup You can also see that he had extremely red cheeks, a common symptom of vitiligo. Today, you can see Michael has a smooth complexion. He probably did the procedure most Vitligo patients do, which is to depigment their whole body, so they won't look like a dalmation lol. So all those stories about Michael bleaching himself are FALSE! It is IMPOSSIBLE to make your skin go from completely brown to completely white.
Can you give me more details about Michael Jackson's disease?
The only known disease Michael Jackson had, in addition to his addiction to a surgical IV drug, was that he had Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its natural pigmentation, but only in sections called blotches. So, for a dark black man, the skin appears almost white or tannish. Caucasians can also have Vitiligo--skin that is normally pinkish 'white' becomes even lighter, but only in blotches. In some ways, this is like a blotch from a birth mark, but Vitiligo appears after birth, in childhood or adulthood. Some people try to then bleach remaining natural pigment so it matches the blotches of lost pigment. Women often use make-up if Vitiligo affects the face or legs. But since Michael Jackson disclosed his Vitiligo, more people are seen with Vitiligo, including one female model.
