Yes, he does, he had vitiligo which is a skin disorder. With vitiligo your skin starts to lose the pigment, that's why he always used to have an umbrella because the skin disorder made him allergic to sun and because his skin burns too fast.

Were Michael Jackson's grandparents African?

Michael Jackson's grandparents are african. 90% of michael's family is black. including him. michael says, ''My skin disease might have turned my skin white, but i am a 100% african american''.


Why was Michael Jackson ashamed of being black?

Early on, Michael Jackson spread rumors about some untruths in order to promote certain movies or even just his own beliefs. And for he course of his childhood, his skin was brown, but as he grew older, he was diagnosed with vitiligo, or leukoderma, which started to turn his skin white. Leukoderma is a chronic skin disease that causes the skin to lose pigmentation, therefore, the color, resulting in irregular patches of pale skin. In the past, as mentioned before, he leaked untruths about himself in order to promote his eccentric persona. But even before his skin started turning pale because of the disease, he had stopped because he realized that people would look down on him for it. Unfortunately, the press began to make up their own stories. When his skin began to turn pale from leukoderma, the press began to spread the rumor that he was bleaching his skin. He couldn't do anything about that. But after a while, his skin stopped changing, leaving pale patches of mixes of color on his skin. So he underwent depigmentation. Michael Jackson was also diagnosed with lupus, an autoimmune disease that could be fatal as the immune system attacks the body's cells and tissues, causing inflammation and tissue damage. And combined with leukoderma, it made him very sensitive to sunlight.
