This skin disease is hereditary so someone in his family had it. It could go way back to his great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. He may have just been unlucky and caught it. He began to see the white spots around the mid 70's when he first began to use makeup to cover it up. He tried to do this for as long as possible but he began turning white very fast, until finally he underwent some sort of treatment for it.
