This is what it says on Wikipedia,

Jackson's skin had been medium-brown during his youth, but from the mid-1980s gradually grew paler. The change drew widespread media coverage, including speculation that he had been bleaching his skin.[1][2][5] Jackson's dermatologist, Arnold Klein, said he observed in 1983 that Jackson had vitiligo,[11] a condition characterized by patches of the skin losing their pigment. He also identified discoid lupus erythematosus in Jackson. He diagnosed Jackson with lupus that year,[11] and with vitiligo in 1986.[12] Vitiligo's drastic effects on the body can cause psychological distress. Jackson used fair-colored makeup,[3] and possibly skin-bleaching prescription creams,[4] to cover up the uneven blotches of color caused by the illness. The creams would have further lightened his skin, and, with the application of makeup, he could appear very pale.
