Something I need to know about Michael's skin colour.

I know he had vitiligo, I don't doubt that for a second. But was it a really bad case of vitiligo, making the large majority of his body turn white? or did he bleach it to make it even? I'm confused because I was researching the disease and found out that one of the treatments to vitiligo is infact bleaching the skin.

So can some clarify? Bad case of the disease? or was it bleached to make it more even?

Either way, it won't make me think any less of him.

Not really sure what you are asking here.. He didn't bleach, he used something called benoquin which removes the pigmentation from the skin.

Not sure if we're allowed to discuss this on the board tho.

The majority of Michael's pigment was lost to vitiligo. The rest was depigmented to match the new skin color.
