Michael Jackson Son Prince Michael Suffering From Vitiligo?

Michael Jackson Son Prince Michael Suffering From Vitiligo? – There was a lot of controversy about whether or not Michael Jackson had a skin condition or whether he had sought out some sort of alternative “skin dying” treatment. Michael was a man of many mysteries but we will only have what he said was a skin condition to rely on for our answers. Some recently taken photos of his son seem to provide some insight to his condition as well as what could have been passed down through genetics. Michael Jackson always stood behind the fact that he was affected by the skin disease known as vitiligo. Prince Michael, his eldest son might actually be showing signs of having a similar problem.

Prince Michael is just 13-years-old and he was seen at the beach having a good time in the water on the recent holiday. Some photos taken of him reveal a slight patch under his right arm that appears to be an area turning white. Prince Michael spent his entire holiday in Hawaii with his other siblings, Paris, 12 and prince Michael 2, eight.
There are plenty of explanations for the spot under his arm. Some of them include too much sun exposure or a bad condition of skin peeling. However, the question that’s on everyone’s mind is if he was genetically passed down Michael’s undeniable case of vitiligo. Jackson, who recently passed away at the age of 50 said that he was affected by the disease with continuous lightening of his skin. He always stood behind this claim, despite the skeptics who said vitiligo wouldn’t overtake his entire body like it had.

    It is highly speculated that Michael Jackson is not the father of Prince, but that he had obtained the progenitive seed of a donor and allowed his wife to be fertilized by such seed. This would, unfortunately and to his great chagrin, make his “so-called-son” a bastard by way of definition. How unfortunate it is that Michael chose to manipulate how his children would look, and being insecure about his own outward appearance, resorted to this one last and unethical extreme. Feeling embarrassed that his secret might be discolsed to the public, he ordered them to cover-up their faces whenever they went out in public. How sad and how unfortunate for these children, who are not to blame for their “would-be father’s” conduct.

      You are truely an IDIOT!!!!! Have a nice day.

    • LilyD says:

      You poor, pitiful, judgemental liar. You made all of that up all on your own, which must have come from your personal experience. sad sad

    • Blackjet88 says:

      I’m not even going to acknowledge the first part of your statement. It’s ignorant, much like the rest of your comment. Paris stated on Oprah that she and her brothers wore masks for their protection and to enable them to go out in public, when they were not with their father, in peace. She said that they understood the reasons for it and it turned out that their mother originally made the suggestion. If no one knew what they looked like they couldn’t be hounded by reporters and photogs like their dad was. He did that to protect them, not to hide them because he was embarassed. Where did that come from? I understand that people are entitled to their opinions but when their opinions are based on fallacies they are not valid. They certainly do not consider themselves unfortunate. They feel that he was the “best dad ever” – a quote from Paris. You have obviously allowed yourself to be misinformed. Please take the time to get the facts before you make ridiculous statements.

    i`m stil crying(
    really poor boy, my cousin`s mother-in-low has a vitiligo, that`s really scary, because there are a lot of white “things” on you body(

  3. Linsey says:

    Omg! you know why cant they just leave Prince Jackson and his family alone they’re just kids.

  4. Cristina says:

    Like so many have said, the autopsy results revealed that Michael Jackson did indeed have vitiligo, so stop insinuating that he may have been lying about it and that we will never know the truth. Also, this is not the first time that discoloration of Prince’s skin has been noted. It’s been discussed on youtube for almost a year. The media seems to assume that people are uninformed. Stop treating us like we’re ignorant and don’t know when we’re being lied to.

  6. chloe timms says:

    prince jackson might have vitiligo he might not what ever it is it shouldn’t make him any different i will always love him no mater what. i wish people would give that family a break.

  7. the girl says:

    Yeah right! He probably put on too much sunblock or D-O

  8. MJJ4EVERMINE says:

    TOO MUCH SUN EXPOSURE, HAHAHAHAHA, YOUR STUPID!!!!!!! IF THAT WOULD BE TRUE THEN EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WOULD HAVE PATCHES LIKE THAT…FOOL!!! AS FOR SKIN PEELING?? COME ON BE SERIOUS, THAT IS NOT SKIN PEELING, HEY I HAVE A BRIDGE TO SELL YA IF YOU THINK THAT! LOL

  9. MJJ4EVERMINE says:

    PRINCE IS NOT LIGHTENING HIS SKIN YOU IDIOTS, HE’S ONLY 13 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, MJ DIDN’T EVEN DO THAT UNTIL HE WAS EARLY 20′S. THIS PICTURE IS NOT PHOTOSHOPPED. AS FOR THE AUTHOR OF THIS STORY, READ THE CORONER REPORT AND START REPORTING THE FACTS FOR ONCE.

    • sofiaM says:

      sorry me(realy), but michael had a vitiligo(he got a vitiligo since his 20, because of problems with the liver(a lot of plastic operation you know))!

  10. MJJ4EVERMINE says:

    EXCUSE ME, BUT THE CORONER STATED IN HIS REPORT THAT MJ HAD VITILIGO, PLEASE GET IT RIGHT. THANK YOU.

  11. whilome says:

    Prince Michael was featured in LIFE magazine the year he was born. There’s an iconic photo of his dad and him with his chubby left arm up. No white patch. The first tabloid pix of the kids after MJ’s death was them at the Hayvenhurst swimming pool, running around. White patch clearly visible. Check it out. It was from last year. And on his neck, a crescent of white dots (looks almost like a bite) that’s been visible since the memorial. On his hands, white patches. Now, after living and swimming in California and three days on a Hawaiian beach, his cousin Jaafar is now dark as heck and Prince is tan as ever. Now, guess what: a huge colorless patch under his arm, unaffected by sun exposure. What more do people want? What more do you even need? If you’re going to speculate at least do research, otherwise, keep the Jackson name out of your mouth.

  12. Shannon says:

    Yes, Michael Jackson suffered from vitiligo. For the people who still don’t believe it, here’s some proof.

    PROOF that ALL 3 of Michael Jackson’s children are HIS

    Be Informed :
    Did Michael Jackson Really Have Vitiligo?
    /youtu.be/64vdlLrkPkk

  14. Tom says:

    Vitiligo causes a complete absence of pigment in the skin so it does look completely white. That’s why Jackson looked so pale and wore so much makeup. As many on this post have pointed out, the autopsy confirmed Jackson had vitiligo no controversy there – give it up.

    Also the idea that this child got sunburn UNDER his arm is crazy.

  15. Tired of Ignorance says:

    Vitiligo is a real disorder and it is emotionally and psychologically devastating! Rather than argue about who has it and if it proves paternity why don’t you people exhibit some compassion in the event that Prince may very well have it. He, along with his father, or anyone else suffering from this skin disorder, does not need the scrutiny you provide!

  16. Angela says:

    well, it was confirmed in his autopsy that he DID have vitiligo. also atop trying to deny that that child is his! Obviously it is,the media needs to stop making excuses

  17. Riogirl77 says:

    And like several have said here, the autopsy report CONFIRMS the Vitiligo! Stop being irresponsible “Tabloidists” and start getting the FACTS before you publish something! Then maybe, you will deserve to be called “Journalists”.

  18. Riogirl77 says:

    Good grief… Is a picture not worth a thousand words anymore? Sun over-exposure? Skin peeling? Under ONE armpit… Come on! You’ve GOT to be kidding!! Are you so clueless that you have never seen someone with a sunburn?! Puh-lease!! This looks NOTHING like either of those things!! And looks EXACTLY like vitiligo….

    Why can’t you just admit it, and kill two stupid rumours with the proverbial one stone: Michael DID have vitilgo, poor thing, and so does his BIOLOGICAL son!! Hope he has better success in treating it than Michael did…

    Rest in peace sweet Angel… the truth will all come out one day, and these media moungers will all have to eat their words!

    Love you more, always more…

  19. Mikaela says:

    I love Michael Jackson so much… and his children and family.

  20. Mei says:

    Michael was a man of mysteries? PATHETIC MEDIA. PFFFT. youre just making controversies! MICHAEL HAD VITILIGO. AND CORONER HAD CONFIRMED IT. is that a mystery? PSYCHOTIC MORONS!

  21. Bo Tat says:

    Reporter and placer of this article namaste,

    It would be better if it is not vitiligo. If it is he will be ridiculed abd hunted in the media for the rest of his life. The more and more when it get’s worse like with his father. What a tragedy it is that the world knows that MJ is the real father. Cause of a skin deasease that he has passed on. For he was ridiculed for in the media for most of his life.
    And by everyboydy who is bying the media and talks about it. If we don’t by the media there is no media. Anyway, Michaels legacy is one of great art. But also a lot of pain. That could go on and on…. that’s wy it is called samsara……the uncontrolled rebirth of the spirit.

    Why ruin the life and lives of people. Just leave them alone. Peace to one and all.

  23. GDM says:

    If anything your article proves the lies of the media.Thank GOD the autopsy results were published for all to read.There has always been talk that MJ’s people leaked this story etc etc–the coroner is not part of MJ’s crowd. STOP IT!

    • b.mclane says:

      How can you be sure the “Coroner” report is official and not “arranged”??( MJ has 2 cousins that work at the UCLA morgue office and the FEDS can do anything in paper.) Check out the odd weight GAIN in the “coroner’s report”. In March ’09,at a 5 hr. Physical for AEG and the “concerts”, he weighed 122 lbs. (6 lbs lighter than his arrest in 2003). 12 weeks later after all that rehearsing and Kenny Ortega , etc all complaining about his weight loss the February 2010, LA Coroner’s Case Report lists his weight at 136 lbs!!!….. a 14 lb GAIN !! ( thesmokinggun.$$m/archive/years/2010/0208101jackson1.html)
      Now does the dude dancing in This Is It documentary look like he weighs 136 lbs??? BTW: His real name is Michael JOE JAckson …..not Michael Joseph Jackson..Just saying.

  24. georges says:

    is it enough for u people 2 believe that MJ suffered from vitilgo or prince michael is also lightening his skin?!!!

  25. Steph says:

    Not photoshopped. I am a graphic designer. Get over your bias.

  26. vivi says:

    Prince has had blotches on his skin for years. On some pictures, we can see blotches on his hands, arms and neck
    It’s definitely not “too much sun exposure or a bad condition of skin peeling”.

    But to know that you needed to do you homework before sharing you ignorance.

    Next time why don’t you try getting a clue before commenting ?

  27. Leon says:

    A SLIGHT PATCH!!? haha are you serious that thing is huge and whiter than a Russians backside. this looks photoshopped or something has been done to the picture.

    • Marty says:

      Don’t be stupid! Every picture out there from different news sources shows the same spot and you’re going to say the picture was photoshopped?!

  28. angela says:

    MJ’s autopsy confirms that he had vitiligo.
    Get over it already and move on with your life!

  29. angela says:

    MJ HAD VITILIGO you idiots

  30. Beverley says:

    “we will only have what he said was a skin condition to rely on for our answers”

    REALLY!? Why do you people continue lying of this man. The Coronor CONFIRMED he had Vitiligo. Or do you think he paid the Coronor before he died to lie! The truth will set you fee!

  31. ambermj says:

    I think people have to remember, these kids are black and white!! so therefore combined wit vitiligo , they r gonna b white wit dark spots on them. All people are different we dont kno evrything about our bodies. Plus this is no1s buisness about his children, only his and his family. I dont think michael would evn want his children in the news. sooo therefore michael jackson is the greatest artist/entertainer of alllll tiiiime! “just leave me alone”- mj …. y don’t u? its none of ur buisness!!

    • Riogirl77 says:

      No offense, but people aren’t like dogs…! Mixed “breeding” between animals may produce pups with spots but OMG, that is NOT the case with humans!! Human offspring of bi-racial couples can be all white, all black, a nice shade of tan, or any shade in between! But none have a mix of these on one body!

      Please do some homework on genetics…

      I do agree though that Prince’s medical condition is his private business… unfortunately, his help in finally clearing Michael’s name of all ludicrous and slanderous rumour may be required… Despite his own troubles, I am sure Prince wouldn’t hesitate to help out his Dad if need be… There was a lot of love and respect there, between father and son… Still is. I think he’d love to see the rumour mill finally grind to a halt once and for all, when it comes to his wonderful father, Michael Jackson…

      Lord have mercy on dear Prince. Hope things work out better for him than for sweet Michael…

      Peace.

    • b.mclane says:

      It is beyond ignorance to say if a child is of mix races,such as caucasian and black…. “they r gonna b white wit dark spots on them”. LORD HELP ME. People do not come out like puppies. Vitilago is clearly showing on Prince’s fingers too at the Memorial. This is old news to MJ fans. To all the ignorant people out there who still doubt MJ had vitilago you can Google images of Jackson in the early 80′s. Even then he had to use heavy makeup to cover the spreading white area that ran up his neck and around each side of his mouth. REMEMBER, for years the Press wondered if MJ and Janet were the same person. You can not trust ANYTHING the Press says about MJ.

  32. ICantBelieveIt says:

    “Michael was a man of many mysteries but we will only have what he said was a skin condition to rely on for our answers.” Wrong. You have officially issued autopsy report where vitiligo is clearly mentioned. Now tell me why the official document is not enough is not enough to clear so-called “mystery”? This is, of course, a rhetoric question. Media creates controversy and just cannot let it go.
    Mark Twain once said “There are laws to protect the freedom of the press’s speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press”
    Yes indeed.
