Michael Jackson suffered from vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disease that causes irregular patches of the skin to lose their pigment. Anyone of any race can get this condition and it is incurable.

Globally about 1% of people are affected by vitiligo. Some populations have rates as high as 2-3%. Males and females are equally affected. About half show the disorder before age 20 and most develop it before age 40. Vitiligo has been described since ancient history.
