HOW and WHY late Michael Jackson turn his skin into White?

If you've watched the interview that he did with Oprah, I don't remember when, they address that issue. Jackson states that he had a skin disease called vitiligo. He used makeup to help blend in the bloches, but he claims he didn't bleach his skin. He also said that he did have plastic surgery, but thousands of people get plastic surgery. It's not anything new for a celebrity anyways. Michael Jackson seemed like a very good hearted person who had possibly the most rumors spread about him by the tabloids and media. Rest in Peace Michael.

Michael Jackson had Vilatgo which makes you develop white spots on the skin. The doctor said he gave him medicine (cream I think) to make his skin one color. It was easier to make it all white because that is how many spots he had all over his body. This is also why he started wearing the glove because that is where the skin disease started. This is from the mouth of his Dermatagist Dr. A. Klein and Singer Dionne Warwick.

He had a rare skin disease where his melanin (the skins pigments that give our skin its color)is destroyed it's called vitiligo. You actually see the blotches in his skin beneath the make up in some of his earlier close up pics. He actually is very proud of his black heritage, he said so in many of his interviews. I just think that some people would like to believe the worst in others that's why Michael was subjected to this ridicule but you can see that vitiligo is a legitimate disease and Michael did suffer from it.

Thank you for this discussion and to responded to this issue Now I know why MJ becme white.. ty...

When ever you are on top, there is always something being said about whether good or bad. He has done alot of good things and at the same time a list of thing not approved by his race. Think about it, why should we care, why should we judge, 97% of the most wealthiest men or women in the has not yet make a step towards getting rid world starvation. The next question is have you made yours?

Michael had vitiligo . It makes varying sized patches all around the body of the person who has it . It happens due to the loss of the natural pigment . It is what I have always said , thought and believed about Michael Jackson . I always have defended him simply because I have always known that there are perfectly logical explanations for all of his so called " weird ways " that he exhibited . He had probably started painting himself black , at first , to cover the minor discolorations . But as the patches of white started to become larger , it probably just became more easier for MJ to start to lighten up the dark patches , instead of continuing to paint and cover the white patches . He wore the glove for that , too . He wanted to cover the patches . He got badly burned on his scalp , and on his face a lil' too . And that was another blow to his already huge self conscious problem . He was soooooooooooo ultra sensitive . And extremely painfully shy . People make fun of this , but unless you are painfully shy yourself , you have no idea exactly how hard it is to deal with , or how difficult it is to live with . Everyone goes " Oh poor RICH Michael " , making fun as if he didn't have feelings like every other human being on this earth . Yet , yeah , all that money , he didn't care about money . MJ wasn't greedy . That's proven in the way he donated tons of his own money all the time and how he carelessly spent money for collectibles an things like that that he loved so much . Movie memorabilia , collectable dolls and statues , cool mannequins , comics , childrens books . I am a girl who still loves to collect cool and neat childrens books and comics and other cool kids stuff . There's nothing wrong with that . Just because he had that rumor of him being a weirdo , everyone was so hard on him . MJ wasn't made for this world . I know so many geeky guys that have their houses or rooms all decked out with Star Wars dolls and action figures , and comics and toys and board games ! That's nothing new . Jeez ! The press made him out to be some freak and then all the hatred he had for his looks , because his skin was changing colors and he'd been burned , and had to start messing more with plastic surgery . And had to take painkillers , too , for the all of the pain ! No wonder ! And MJ most likely had LUPUS . That is a terrible and painful disease . I have known people who have had lupus and who have had vitiligo . The pain they have gone through , and the shame they have suffered for having " freaky " skin ! MJ's soul was just tired . A human being can only take so much .
