July 20 I have Michael Jackson's disease.....VitiligoIt seems to run in famalies and I noticed it on my father, just a few years ago. His hands and forearms appeared to have been severely burnt or something - that's what my first thought was when I saw it. He explained to me that it was the same thing Michael Jackson had....and was why he was so "white". It was a little disturbing, but he said it didn't hurt and he just had to be very careful whenever he was going to be out in the sun because virtually ALL of his pigment and therefore natural protection had been destroyed by his own body....it's an auto-immune disease. I discovered my first 2 white "patches" last night and freaked out a little bit. After doing a little more research tonight....I'm even more freaked out. If it stays on my hands and arms - like it has on my father - I can deal with it....but if it does what it does frequently.....spreads to the face.....that may be a tad harder to deal with. I'm not a vain person......but my FACE?  TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://heidistouchstone2.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!2882CE678638DF73!3722.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
