Michael Jackson’s Skin Color - Jocelyn


Hello. I am Jocelyn. I would like to share with you about what I find out about Michael Jackson’s skin color. From my research, I find out that his skin color
are not dyed by purpose. He was down with a skin disease called vitiligo. This disease caused his skin color to start losing melanocytes(cells that give your skin color).

This results in smooth, white-milky patches in the midst of normally pigmented skin. In the case of African-Americans, this discoloration is very prominent, although any age, sex and race can suffer from it.

Jackson's skin was a medium-brown color throughout his youth, but, starting in the mid 1980s, his skin gradually grew more pale through what was widely considered to be continued bleaching and changing of his features to appear European. This change gained widespread media coverage, including rumors that Jackson was bleaching his skin.

So, with all this sources, I think Michael Jackson really has a disease that causes his skin to change color and he did not change his skin color on purpose. Hope you like what I share and goodbye. :D
