Is there a surgery that turn dark brown people into light skin ?

Not really...: In diseases like vitiligo (like what Michael jackson had), doctors will sometimes conceed that the disease is going to win rather than their efforts to repigment. In those cases, a prescription bleaching cream called Benoquin (monobenzone) can be used to permanently get rid of skin color so that the uninvolved skin now matches the white skin caused by the disease. Why do you ask?
