Michael Jackson had suffered from vitiligo and lupus, which can tend to go hand and hand. The two were autoimmune diseases, which the body attacks its own immune system. Vitiligo causes the skin to become depigmentated, especially on areas of the skin that are exposed increasingly to sunlight. These areas often include the area around the mouth, eyes, lips, nose, hands, genital area, rectal area, armpits, etc. The skin begins to have blotches of white, albino patches. It is more noticeable on people of color than on people of fairer skin tones, but still equally affects both groups. Lupus can show itself in many forms, one form in which Michael Jackson suffered from was Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus which causes a red rosy rash shaped like a disk over the cheeks and the bridge of the nose. Hair loss, changes in skin pigment or color of the skin occurs too. What is important to remember is that Michael Jackson was in his 20s when he was diagnosed with these two debilitating diseases. He was in Hollywood, and a Global Icon, Hollywood is a vain place and so is the world at times itself. Vitiligo can make many of its victims look and feel like lepers, many people and children look at a person with Vitiligo and look on at them in fright. They are not sure if it is contagious, and quite frankly your face is quite blotchy brown and white patches in his case. In Hollywood when you are especially considered a sort of sex symbol, as he was considered to many girl fans during his reign in the 80s, and early 90s it was in the industry's best interest to keep him appearing healthy and as physically normal as possible. In Hollywood you have to be perfect, you can't come out and tell people you have these damning ailments or else they will count you out as a performer, count you as being incapable. They think your gross and wont wanna touch you because they think they can get it, they don't know what it is. He was in Hollywood, he wasn't 50 being diagnosed with this he was in his 20s and in his prime, this was during the Off the Wall, Thriller era when he was diagnosed. In Hollywood they rather you hide your physical ailments then come out and be an advocate for them esp. if u have a lot of girl fans who wanna shag you or vice versa. They saw it as a way to ruin his career and his image, it had to be most likely kept quite and hidden as best as possible. Having that pressure to virtually ignore his illness, and appear fine, and do his best to conceal it would bring enormous pressure on him and anyone in his shoes. Whenever the human body is prone to a particular ailment or disease, adding stress to the equation equals a worsen condition of the ailment or disease. Makeup became too time consuming because he would of had to keep reapplying every couple of hours on end, ensuring the media did not get a glimpse of his condition. It became also ridiculous because the makeup became cakey looking. Depigmentation is one of the solutions to treating the physical changes of Vitiligo. Depigmentation is a method that some who suffer from Vitiligo and a method Michael Jackson chose to go through because it takes all the pigmentation out of the skin, making the skin all become cohesive and even in skin tone. He did not bleach his skin to be white, he used the depigmentation method which eventually makes a person look more albino than white if anything. It is safe to say anyone in his shoes or suffering from Vitiligo combined with Lupus would choose the depigmentation method because it gets rid of the Dalmatian look and makes the skin look even in skin tone.
