Michael Jackson

[sexy_bef69]

How did Michael Jackson dye his skin? Why did he do it? Don't get me wrong I love his music but is he mentally challenged?

[derbyram]

I think that the General consenus of opinion is that Mr Jackson does indeed have many complex 'issues' - one of which relates to how comfortable he is with the colour of his own skin.

[andy hughes]

Michael Jackson catagorically denies that he has bleached his skin - he claims to suffer from a condition called imptigo which bleaches the skin pigment in uneven patches. Michael may or may not admit to wearing make-up to even out the colouring of his skin, but looking at him objectively, anyone who has undegone the amount and type of plastic surgery he has undergone does have serious and deep seated issues regarding his personal appearence, how the world perceives him, and how he perceivs himself.

The guy should be odds-on favourite to win BB6.

I love the way you phrased that question sexy_bef69! I don't know if Michael Jackson does dye his skin but you can get creams that do it and they are really popular in Jamaica (I think they have peroxide to lighten it). I think andy meant to put vitiligo as the skin complaint, impetigo because that's a crusty type of infectious complaint. Vitiligo normally makes the skin go pale in patches, so the even-ness of Mr Jackson's ghostly face makes me at least a teensy bit suspicious of it!

It's meant to say.... vitiligo as the skin complaint, NOT impetigo sorry

[jenstar]

What is infantigo? ;-)

[moggyday]

some medication avalible for vertiligo when it is quite severe acts to rid the skin of the rest of the pigment which makes the person look white.

People with vitiligo usually have make-up to fill in the pale patches rather than extra white to make the rest pale. The one that springs to mind is Bob Monkhouse, with his orange fake tan colour.

I used to like him & his music, but tastes change along with opinions. I think he is an attention seeking prat!

wasn't it yazz (the only way is up) who was also said to have vitiligo
