Quote from: "ILuvUMoreMJ"I don't think that's the case with him though...his fingernails were mostly pale up until the trial. Why would they suddenly turn brown like that? He's had vitiligo since the early 80's. That just doesn't make sense to me.I think it's ill health, which he was in when the trail was on. He didn't eat because he thought "they" were trying to poison his food.

I believe it was caused by vitiligo. It killed the pigment of his skin, but the coloration under his fingernails wasn't affected. A lot of people suffering from pigment loss have darker finger tips.

Interesting article... You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login I've been wondering what caused his fingernails to become so discoloured for awhile. I don't think it was his vitiligo because his nails were a normal skin tone colour before 2006. It's possible he was taking some sort of medication that caused it...I can't think of anything else that would do that. But I hate to think that it was a tumour drug like the article mentions. Is it possible he really did have skin cancer? Interesting that his reps didn't even deny that rumour... You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Be careful with the diagnoses, we don't have Michael's medical record, so it's obvious we won't know every disease MJ has ever suffered from.
Quote from: "Sangre"Be careful with the diagnoses, we don't have Michael's medical record, so it's obvious we won't know every disease MJ has ever suffered from.True, we would need to know Michael medical history to correctly identify why he has discoloured fingernails. Has anybody ever seen his toenails - are they discoloured too? If this is the case than he may have been suffering from some kind of systemic (affecting the body as a whole) condition, but I’m just speculating. Here are some possibilities...1. Michael may have been prescribed hydroquinone containing creams as part of the treatment of his Vitiligo. When hydroquinone comes in contact with the nail bed a reaction occurs (oxidation) that causes this area to become darker. If this is the case we would expect decolouration to be predominantly on Michaels fingernails as oppose to his toenails (if at all).2. Vitiligo has been associated with autoimmune thyroid disease, such as hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive), or with Addison’s disease, adrenal insufficiency due to the destruction of the adrenal tissue by circulating antibodies -nail pigmentation can be a sign of this disease.Addison’s disease and Vitiligo can develop together in some patients. Addisons disease is an adulthood disease; and it can be accompanied by blood pressure instability, fatigue, anorexia, and depression.3. Melanonychia - black or brown pigmentation of the nail. This can be a normal finding in the nails of dark-skinned persons, occurring in more than 77% of blacks older than 20 years
