    Michael Jackson blames it on a skin condition called "Vitiligo" which causes people of color to develop light patches of skin that lack pigment. However, Vitiligo usually looks differently. Still it's possible that Jackson changed his skin tone (either by using bleaching agents or by wearing makeup) to hide the white patches which Vitiligo produces. Vitiligo and how it relates to Jackson is described on this page:

    There's a discussion containing some other possible explanations here:

    Wikipedia has a page on Vitiligo, too:
