Is it true that michael jackson bleached his skin because he had a SKIN DISEASE?

i heard that he head a disease that made him get white blotches on his skin so he decided just to bleach his whole body. is that true?Is it true that michael jackson bleached his skin because he had a SKIN DISEASE?
yes he had a skin disease that made him have patches of skin that lost pigment. It is called Vitiligo and is not uncommon.Is it true that michael jackson bleached his skin because he had a SKIN DISEASE?
He did have a skin disease, that part is true. The bleaching of the skin I believe is false. And even if the whole ';bleaching skin'; were to be true, I don't see what's the big deal since the only reason for that would be that he wanted to even out his skin color.
I agree with the answer below me. Color pigmentation. I heard this somewhere in the news and I couldn't quite remember it.
Yes. My friend said that the way he did it or the bleach or something could cause serious heart problems. And he had a heart attack, so that's what I'm thinking happened.
I don't think he bleach his skin, but rather he got his color pigmentation removed.
No Michael Jackson never bleached his skin.
It was a disease. He used make-up and when 50% of his body went white I think he switched the colour.
He wanted to be white.
yes
yeah...i feel sorry for him. he shouldn't have done that. :(
