Скачать или смотреть Why Michael Jackson Turned White as He Got Older

Ever wonder why Michael Jackson's skin turned white as he aged? Jackson had a condition known as vitiligo, which causes depigmentation of parts of the skin. The result? White spots on the patient's body, which are much more noticeable if the person naturally has a dark complexion, as in Jackson's case. In addition to this skin disorder, Jackson also reportedly suffered from systemic lupus erythematosus, which, besides potentially being a very serious condition, can also cause loss of skin pigmentation. When the depigmentation of parts of his skin first started, he simply covered it up with makeup, restoring his natural skin color. However, at a certain point the patches became too widespread to make such daily cover up practical, so he switched to bleaching his skin to turn it all the same color, a treatment not uncommon for those with this condition.
