I have a rare skin condition called vitiligo. I was just wondering if anyone else on the forums had it. I've been noticing other people with it, even though there are very few people. I would post pictures but my camera isn't working so I'll do that later. If you don't know what vitiligo is click here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitiligo). And if you do have vitiligo I'm sure you'll be glad to hear that I have heard rumors that they may have found a cure for it, but they are not sure. It is some ingredient in black peppers. I'm not really sure about it my dad told me he saw it on the internet. Anyways the ingredient revives skin pigment cells and they may be able to make a cream out of it, but not for a while.

Isn't vitiligo what Michael Jackon had/has?(No, not trying to be funny or anything)

Yeah he does have it. I'm pretty sure he got it, and then bleached his whole body cause he didn't want the white spots to stand out. But now it just looks even worse, so why he did that I have no idea...:thinking:
