  • Vitiligo is the loss of pigmentation in your skin. It is supposedly what Michael Jackson had. I don't know if you've ever seen someone with what looks like dark and light patches of skin all over their body but that's usually what vitiligo looks like. I do believe there are creams that help it...skin bleaching is what MJ supposedly used so that his skin tone wasn't all patchy and uneven. A dermotologist would be the one to ask.

  • I do know what vitaligo is, and no, I don't believe there are creams that can help it, b/c it is a failure of the liver to produce skin pigment. It isn't a skin problem itself.
