What is the cause of the skin disease vitiligo?

We Answered:

The cause of vitiligo is not known, but doctors and researchers have several different theories. There is strong evidence that people with vitiligo inherit a group of three genes that make them susceptible to depigmentation. The most widely accepted view is that the depigmentation occurs because vitiligo is an autoimmune disease-a disease in which a person's immune system reacts against the body's own organs or tissues. As such, people's bodies produce proteins called cytokines that alter their pigment-producing cells and cause these cells to die. Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves. Finally, some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn or emotional distress triggered vitiligo; however, these events have not been scientifically proven as causes of vitiligo.

*Sighs* Were you Michael's doctor? Did you diagnose him with vitiligo? Did you treat him for it and find out the EXACT cause of his vitiligo? Yeah, i doubt it. So stop being ignorant. The man's dead, just let it be. I'm sick of people putting his life up for debate, this is ridiculous.
