The widespread rumor that Michael Jackson bleached his skin is false. Medical evidence confirms he suffered from vitiligo and lupus, conditions that caused depigmentation and skin discoloration. While he used makeup and potentially skin-lightening creams to even out his skin tone, he never intentionally bleached his skin to change its color, and he publicly expressed pride in being Black. His autopsy confirmed vitiligo, and his use of creams like Benoquin and Hydroquinone were consistent with treating the condition. The conclusion is that his changing appearance was a result of illness, not a choice to alter his race.
