Michael Jackson's Skin: Vitiligo, Transformation, And Legacy

How Michael Jackson struggled with vitiligo and turned white

By  Elenora Corkery

Was Michael Jackson's changing skin tone simply a cosmetic choice, or was there a deeper, more complex medical explanation behind it? The truth is far more intricate than many realize, rooted in a battle against an autoimmune condition that altered his life and legacy in profound ways.

The evolution of Michael Jacksons appearance was one of the most talked-about aspects of his public life. From his early days with the Jackson 5 to his solo superstardom, his physical changes were undeniable and widely discussed. Many speculated about the reasons behind his increasingly pale complexion, with some accusing him of trying to erase his African American identity. However, the reality, as revealed by his autopsy and corroborated by those close to him, paints a different picture: Michael Jackson had vitiligo.
