From the Daily Mail:

Michael Jackson always maintained he was blighted by a rare skin disease called vitiligo.

And it seems his eldest son, Prince Michael may be suffering from the same problem.

The 13-year-old revealed white patches under his arm while on a recent holiday to Hawaii with his siblings Paris, 12 and Prince Michael II, eight.

While there is the possibility it was the result of sun exposure, it appeared more dramatic than peeling skin.

Vitiligo is a hereditary skin condition which discolors the face and body.

Jackson, who died last year at the age of 50, blamed the disease for the gradual lightening of his own skin over the years.

His claim was always met with some skepticism from critics, who accused him of intentionally bleaching his skin.
