Michael Jackson Steps Out for Skin Care


The King of Pop has finally stepped out of the cave! I don't think that anyone has seen him in awhile but here he is! The kind of disease he has is Vitiligo. Throughout the end of the 1980s, Michael Jackson's skin grew paler. I remember my brother telling me that the reason why he was white is because he has always wanted to be white. Now I know that it isn't true! haha I think it's a sad thing what Jackson has to go through. But that didn't stop Jackson from being the King of Pop. But I felt like that he grew kind of insane after that with the whole Home Alone kid and the baby over the balcony ordeal.
Jackson's skin was a medium-brown color for the entire duration of his youth, but starting in the early 1980s, his skin gradually grew paler. This change gained widespread media coverage, including rumors that Jackson was bleaching his skin.[4] In the mid-1980s, Jackson was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus; the latter is in remission in Jackson's case, both illnesses make him sensitive to sunlight. The treatments he uses for his condition further lighten his skin tone, and, with the application of pancake makeup to even out blotches, he can appear very pale.[47] The structure of his face has changed as well; several surgeons have speculated that Jackson had undergone multiple nasal surgeries, a forehead lift, thinned lips and a cheekbone surgery.[48] Changes to his face were, in part, due to periods of significant weight loss.[13] Jackson became slimmer in the early 1980s because of a change in diet and a desire for "a dancer's body".[49] Witnesses reported that Jackson was often dizzy and speculated that he was suffering from anorexia nervosa; periods of weight loss would became a recurring problem for the singer later in life.[50] Some medical professionals have publicly stated their belief that the singer has body dysmorphic disorder, a psychological condition whereby the sufferer has no concept of how they are perceived by others.[51]
