WHAT TURNS EBONY TO IVORY - The Washington Post clockThis article was published more than**32yearsago** Democracy Dies in Darkness # WHAT TURNS EBONY TO IVORY AN UNOFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS OF POP STAR'S SKIN DISORDER February 11, 1993 ByJoel Garreau Michael Jackson may be suffering from a disease called vitiligo, which is capable of turning up to 80 percent of his skin white, area dermatologists said yesterday. In an interview Wednesday night, talk show host Oprah Winfrey asked Jackson whether he bleaches his skin, noting that his complexion has lightened so noticeably since his youth that it is the most-discussed aspect of the pop star's life. Jackson responded: "I'm a black American. I'm proud to be a black American. I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. ... I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin.

J), and Canadian model Winnie Harlow (WH). We analyzed data generated through Google Trends (GT), for the relative search volumes using keywords vitiligo , Michael Jackson, and Winnie Harlow worldwide from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2018. GT ( https://trends.google.com/trends/ ) provides data on the relative search volume of queries and topics over time and across geographical areas. It allows seasonal and long-term assessment of trends in public interest. It has been previously used in dermatology to compare the burden of various dermatological skin diseases by way of most frequently searched conditions. 5 Our study did not require ethical approval by an institutional review board. Between 2004 and 2018, interest in vitiligo remained fairly stable on a global scale ( Figure 1 ). The comparison of the mean search volumes by periods of five years illustrates the stability: 21±4 (2004–2008), 23±13 (2009–2013) and 26±4 (2014–2018). Seasonal peaks are observed every year during summer (July–August). FIGURE 1. Open in a new tab Worldwide research volume indexes for vitiligo between 2004 and 2018 *Death of Michael Jackson in June 2009, **Discovery of Winnie Harlow in May 2014 Search levels for vitiligo reached their peak between June 28, 2009, and July 4, 2009—after MJ passed away on June 25, 2009 ( Figure 1 ). This peak is the highest for vitiligo in the past 14 years. MJ’s autopsy confirmed that he had vitiligo. 6 When comparing relative search volumes for vitiligo and Michael Jackson worldwide between 2004 and 2018, it was difficult to assess a notable link between MJ and vitiligo, before or after his death (data not shown). At the time of his death, the relative volume searches were 100 and 1 for the singer and vitiligo, respectively. However, the impact of MJ’s death remains notable for vitiligo, alone or compared to other skin conditions during that period (data not shown).
