Why Did Michael Jackson Bleach His Skin?

Answer Question

46 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    His 'paid' doctors claimed he had vitiligo a skin condition that effects people of all races and skin colours. I do not believe this, as the typical symptoms of vitiligo are sporadic skin blotches, it is not uniform, His skin (face and other parts on show) miraculously seem a constant uniform pale colour. I believe he has had a specialist bleach his skin over a period of time during his plastic surgery years to alter his nose to a typical Roman look. He seemed desperate to get rid of his negroid features, shame on him. I hear he now has skin cancer which is probably a result of the skin bleaching.

    Its called depigmentation therapy which they give to paitents with extreme cases of vitiligo. That way they don't have to walk around 2 different colors. In most cases though if the vitiligo is not wide spread they, meaning the doctors, wil put pigment back into the paitents skin. If m.jackson had actually bleached himslef his skin would have continued to create the dark brown skin cells that he already had. So you are in correct. Typical symptoms does not mean all symptoms.

      It`s Michael Jackson had Vitilgo witch started little in spots that were able to be seen.Thats why Michael Jackson had long sleves and pants on most of the time.Then it started to get bigger and he didn`t want to be 2 different colors.So what he got done was he bleached his skin also so if you say he got it bleached that is true.If you say it is Vitiligo that is also true.

        He did it because of his illness. He didnt do to just randomly become white. He wanted his skin to be even. He is an amazing guy and everything about him being a child molester and trying to drop his child off a building is not true. He was only trying to show the world is beautiful son.

          He didn't. He got a skin desease called vitilgo. It kills the pigment in your skin, turning it effectively white.

              Though many people think he bleached his skin, Michael Jackson actually had a fairly rare disorder that made the pigments in his skin quit producing melanin (i dont think i spelled that right). Melanin is a chemical in your skin that dictates how dark your skin is, it just depends on the amount ( the more melanin the darker).

              Michael jackson suffered from a skin disease called vertigo and it caused him pigmentation problems, he had like white patches all over his skin, so in order to conceal those patches, he had to bleach his skin. It is really sad that he died at 50. He was like legendary.

He inspired alo of people including myself whn the media tried to lie to make stories about him such as child molestation and him being gay he always held his head up n the publc eye. He came to court in his pajamas and made funn faces he was a true entertainer. He knew he didnt do anything wrong and he showed it throughout court and in the public eye.

                  Michael Jackson did not Bleach his skin. He had a skin disease called beautiligo. A part of your body goes white due to diabetes and many other symptoms. He will look ugly that is why he had a skin transplant.

                  The only concern we should have right now is how his family is doing! We should be praying for them, he is resting in peace. What happened to his skin is no longer an issue, some of you people are so! Insensitive to the fact that the man has passed away and a family is now in mourning. May God Have Mercy On All Of You! May the Jackson Family be comforted by the Gods Spirit in thier
                  hour of bereavement. Pray for the children.

                    Michael Jackson had so many demons. He always tried his best and gave brilliant performances, we have to forgive the rest.  He was under so much stress - he must have done good things don't keep concentrating on the negatives.  None of you who write posts are complete angels.  Look at yourselves.

                    Michael J was Killed... It was not due to natural causes or an over dose that he took on his own accord. Its all a conspiracy which in time will be brought out. They were not prepared to  let him clear his debt by doing the 50 concerts...something is just not right with this celebrity death.He looked happy to be rehearsing for the concerts and energetic...someone has been paid to cause his death and to make up rumours of his frail last days. His last hours were rehearsing how could he be ill or frail.He was Murdered.

                    Michael Jackson was not a strong minded person he let peoples opinions rule his life, so yes he bleached himself, but peoples cruel comments lead him to it. Does anyone realize he had a problem I don't know if he was slow or just mentally ill but all the bleaching, surgeries, acting oddly, and living in his own fantasy world, were all signs that there was a problem.

                    As Jacko himself said,  "It don't matter if you're black or white".   Why should it matter to us what colour he was?  He was a person, and an amazing person also, and we should remember him for being one of the world's most talented people, not for having skin that some people don't like.  He claimed to have had a skin condition, vitiligo,  which causes patches of skin to lose their colour.  He did not want to have multicolour skin, so he bleached the rest of it. Big deal.  Now lets just remember him for who he was on the inside, and show that we are not so shallow as to only care about his physical appearance.

                    He did not bleach his skin, he had a skin disease named Vitiligo that destroys skin cells, it causes pigmentation of the skin, he wore makeup on his body to even out his skin, he did not bleach his skin, it is irrelevant!

                    He had a skin disorder that he did probably have to bleach some of his skin to even it out. I have a friend who has that has vitiligo. People who have it are very sensitive about how people look at them. I can understand him trying to even out his skin. Most of what mj did was apply body makeup....for those who think it's a joke, you would understand if it were happening to you or someone close to you.

                    BOTH. He had Vitiligo and lupus and over time made most of his body white. He did his best to hide it in its earlier stages. He wore the sequined glove to hide the white patches. Michael Jackson was very vain and self conscious. Eventually the white was larger than the black and he had the rest depigmented to he would look more even. There are some pictures where you can see his white spots. www.youtube.com
