Does anyone know for sure: Did Michael Jackson bleach his skin or did he have vitiligo?


Wouldn't you get burns from bleaching?
Is it permanent?
Does it take multiple session?

Why are Michael's kids white?
Could that be from the bleaching/vitiligo or from a white mother?
----------

He did have vitiligo but it usually leaves spots all over the body it doesn't completely turns skin white. I heard that he had the rest of his skin bleached so he would look like that. Also I have heard that Prince and Paris are not his biological kids but I think the youngest boy is.  (+ info)

----------

There are many types of different treatments are available for vitiligo but I think herbal
treatment is best for vitiligo specially for vitiligo.
because it is economical,apply only on the affected area and has no side effects.

Application of the medicine on target skin area is a very vise and convenient alternative to oral ingestion. It can sensitize the skin even locally, which would subsequently gain color on sun exposure.
Various methods of local applications are recommended by different authorities e.g. extracts, oils and concoctions. In which the substance is used alone or in complex recipes along with other herbal materials.

Does anyone know of any treatments for Vitiligo that actually work?


Tried topical creams and looking at homeopathic remedies on the internet but worried they are a load of rubbish.
----------

There are many treatments that work, but there would hardly be any treatment that works in every body.
All who are affected by disease, expect a permanent and complete eradication of the disease, and are very upset when things happen in a different way. We must however remember that in trying to cure a disease we are fighting against the nature, which is difficult preposition in any case.
Please don not loose heart. Keep looking for a remedy that suits you. Have you tried antivitiligo oil?  (+ info)

Does Vitiligo start out with one white patch?


just wondering.
I always thought (and still do think) that I have a birthmark right below my knee, but I was reading about MJ's vitiligo and I'm wondering if it starts out with one white spot.

I don't know about only one white patch, but it does start out small and then grows. It depends on the severity too about how much skin will turn white.  (+ info)

Vitiligo but what is the opposite of this disease?


WE all know Vitiligo is a evil disease that destroys the skin and turns brown and black people (white) makes them have huge white patches all over their body.

But what is the opposite called when you are light skin and have increased melanine production all of a sudden and get black or dark brown patches all over your skin?

In general, it's called hyperpigmentation. However, there are several disorders that can cause this, such as Addison's disease, hemochromatosis, drug reactions, pituitary tumors, etc.  (+ info)

Is it possible to tattoo over patches of vitiligo?


My wife has vitilgo and has white patches on her face.
She is interested in getting a cover-up tattoo matching her skin colour. She has a lot of freckles too, so i'd imagine she'd need a base layer tattoo of skin colour, then another tattoo of the freckles overtop. But, we can't find any place to do this (ireland). Can anybody suggest anything or any place?
