Vitiligo: Vitiligo is the lose of normal pigmentation of the skin that occurs in people for unknown reasons. Michael jackson is an example. You may get more information on the internet such as the following site: http://www.Avrf.Org/facts/signs.Htm from the american vitiligo research foundation. In children, focal forms are more common. Other conditions can look like this, so seeing the doctor is advised.
