The poor victims of vitiligo not only change colors but they lose color, and their whiteness is chalky and scary. It has to be one of the worst things that can happen to a person because it deals with the face you have to show to the world... unless of course you are Michael Jackson who seemingly considered this curse a blessing. |

I had to see a photo of my man and found these videos: http://tinyurl.com/ytr97g They said 2% of the world's population has this condition. I knew a girl who had it in high school, you just got used to looking at her after a while. Hummm now I thinking maybe Mikey J. really does have vitiligo. Maybe that is why he wore that glove and never shows his skin...
