Michael Jackson’s Son Inherits His Father’s Rare Skin Condition

The King of Pop always confessed to being afflicted with an atypical skin condition known as vitiligo. It now has become apparent that the eldest of his kids, 13-year-old Prince Michael might also be ailing from the similar disease.

He was spotted with whitish patches in his underarm area while lately holidaying in Hawaii along with his sister, twelve-year-old Paris and eight-year-old, Prince Michael II.

Even though there are chances of these pallid patches being the outcome of being exposed to the sun, it seems more prominent than just skin peeling.

Vitiligo is a heritable, lifelong skin disease that causes symmetrical discolouring or whitish skin patches with darkish or reddish edges. Areas of the skin prevalently affected are the backside of the hand, facial area, or regions having skin creases like underarms and genital area. Regions of the body that have opening like the lip, eye, nipple and anal area are also more prone to developing vitiligo as well being sunburnt.

Vitiligo could develop in spurts wherein large regions of the skin might swiftly have pigment loss in the initial staging of the condition. But, then such whitish skin patches might suddenly stop showing any expansion for months or even years.

Last year Micheal Jackson who faced a tragic untimely death at the young age of fifty always held vitiligo responsible for his eventual skin lightening through the years. However his assertions always met with a lot of cynicism from sceptics who made accusations about Jackson having done skin bleaching.

With Prince Michael exhibiting the analogous signs and symptoms, many do appear to be convinced that it is a strong proof that the King of Pop actually was his biological father.

Since many years, the fatherhood of Michael Jackson’s kids has been widely speculated and questioned due to the dissimilarity in skin colour.

A reliable source close to the family is believed to have revealed to a U.S. tabloid ‘The Globe’ that it has been finally proven that the King of Pop was in fact his father.

In one from every five to ten individuals, several or all of the skin pigment would gradually return back and the whitish patches would subside. But for majority of the individuals, the whitish skin patches would last and expand in size in case vitiligo is untreated.

It is advisable to see a doctor in case one notices such white skin patches appearing as treatment could be vastly helpful in case commenced early on when merely a smaller skin portion has been affected. Wearing sunscreen is imperative for vitiligo sufferers for protecting the affected skin areas as they are particularly more prone to developing skin cancer.
