Apparently he had a skin condition.
EDIT: I'd like to add a bit onto this thread, does anyone think this wasn't the real reason for it & why? Some people do think that skin condition was a lie.

Yeah, vitiligo apparently, it's a pretty common skin disease with black people, though it's never that severe.
Don't know if he was officially diagnosed with it though.

I think he had some rare skin disorder that made his skin peel. Eventually it got to the point were his skin keep peeling and then it got to the under layer of his skin thus making him appear whiter and whiter.

I'd just like to say, completely seriously, when I was a little kid (around 4 or 5) I thought Michael Jackson turned white because I took the term "plastic surgery" literally and thought they just didn't make plastic for black people, so he had to have white plastic instead.
I told this to my wife, who naturally laughed... but when she was a kid she thought there were two separate Michael Jacksons, so we're even.

He had skin cancer and had white blotches all around his body so he decided to bleach his skin so it would match
Ive seen many people with vitiligo, and it spreads slowly in blotchy patterns. if you look at MJ, he went very quickly from black to asian looking to goth white. I doubt severely he had vitiligo.
