How would you deal with vitiligo?

I suffer from vitligo at such an early age,my parents went to doctors in many places with the hope of curing me of it. However, my conditions did not get any better despite the expense of a lot of money. They decided to have a try and took me to a Chinese hospital. The affected sites on my body had improved significantly in less than a month. After reinforcement treatment of experts, I have completely recuperated my health and I have become cheerful.


What could cause red spots on face and chest?

Sounds like you are certainly allergic to something and only a dermatologist can tell you. For now, change your soap products, don't use gels/sprays, etc. on your hair. My bet is the soap products you are using. Don't use lotions until you see your dermatologist.


Is there any medicine for VITLIGO?

Well Vitiligo cannot be cured, but it can be managed . Cosmetics can be used to improve the appearance of the white areas not covered by clothing. http://www.answers.com/topic/sunscreen prevent burning of the affected areas and also prevent the normal skin around the patches from becoming darker. Skin creams and oral medications are available for severe cases, but they have side effects that may make them undesirable. Autologous transplantation of skin is an option for those who are severely affected. Bleaching or depigmentation of the normal skin is another option.


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.


What was Michael Jackson's inspiration for the song Black or White?

Michael Jackson had a Skin Disease called Vitiligo. It creates iregular patches of skin that can effect the DNA to become a brighter color like white, it can happend on any part of the body. Michael is Black on the Inside but on the outside Michael is White. Michael's Oldest kid: Prince Michael Jackson has SOME vitligo just like his dad. But yeah to the real question, Michael Joseph Jackson is Black on the inside and White on the Outside. He NEVER bleached his skin.
