Janet is so cute. I love that photo of her in the early 80s.

Sorry, but Michael Jackson DOES have vitiligo. Its a fact, and you cannot dispute it. And um, LaToya was
always light skin, just like Marlon. How can you
not tell? Bleaching yourself is not possible anyway. I have yet to see or hear about anyone else that has gone through a drastic change in skin color by just bleaching their skin with regular products. I know of people bleaching their skin, but if you pay them any real attention you will notice the inconsistencies, they get darker then they get lighter again, this is because hydroquinone is not permanent.
People that bleach their skin to remove scars and minor discolorations use creams with only hydroquinone, which is reversible and not permanent. This is why when you buy bleaching creams at the store, it will always tell you that the pigmentation you wanted to get rid of may reappear. The medication
monobenzylether of hydroquinone is used to do this and is very strong, it is only prescribed to vitiligo patients.
Vitiligo creates blotches/patches of white skin, and gradually spreads over the entire body. The process of this disease can be gradual and slow. Michael Jackson did not go from black to white overnight. People who bleach their skin do not spot. So during the period his body was visibly "black" he was actually covering his blotches to even out his complexion. Covering it up with makeup was only effective for awhile. As it gets worse, you have to apply more, as his make up artist (Karen Faye) for over 20 years stated, wearing full bodied makeup would be very hard. The depigmentation process takes awhile to complete and it is permanent. So unless you want to entertain the idea that both his dermatologist and make-up artist is lying about him being diagnosed with vitiligo and discoid lupus is...
As time goes on, his skin color becomes even more uneven, and his cheeks begin to always seem to have
a red tint to them. (Due to Discoid Lupus) You’ll see it all over his face and even his neck. Same with the lip color, it started as a way to conceal the discoloration on his lips, if you’ll notice the discoloration on the outline of the lips in the first picture, and some discoloration on his nose in others.
Also, getting your hands on
monobenzylether of hydroquinone is not easy. So I don’t want to hear the excuse that Michael Jackson just somehow got his hands on it. You have to be prescribed something like that from a dermatologist. Like I’ve said before, people that bleach their skin do not spot. People with vitiligo have gotten to the point where their pigment has been totally stripped from all of the their body, they are typically snow white in color. Michael Jackson is very pale, even in comparison to white people. The only cases of such a drastic change in skin color that I’ve seen or read about are with vitiligo patients.
People with vitiligo become very sensitive to the sun, because the natural protection that your skin has from the sun gets stripped away along with the pigmentation. If you go through depigmentation therapy the sensitivity of your skin to the sun becomes even worse. This is why when Michael is outside, most of the time you will see him shielding himself from the sun with either his hand or an umbrella. A lot of people don’t understand why he is with an umbrella all the time, this is the only reason.
That was in 2002, that bruise he has when he was bitten by a spider.
Vitiligo also in many cases, depigments the color of your lips (and corresponding body parts like nipples, etc) and in extreme cases, even turn your hair color, eye lash color, etc blonde or white.
