Bleaching the skin is nonsense. I have been troubled by vitiligo all my life.
The autopsy report after his death also confirmed that Jackson had not deceived everyone before. He does have vitiligo that runs in the family.

At present, Jackson's eldest son Prince has also been confirmed to have inherited vitiligo, and Michael's second sister Latoya is also deeply troubled by vitiligo. Jackson also suffers from skin disease lupus erythematosus, which not only leads to uneven skin color, but also may lead to death. Exposure to ultraviolet rays will accelerate deterioration. Therefore, it is also necessary to prove that he always wraps himself up before going out to avoid being exposed to the sun, and he should always wear sunglasses, masks and umbrellas when going out, because he can't touch the sun.
