exactly how does one "bleach" their body? I just don't see how bleech is going to permiate deep enough to affect skin tone.. perhaps I'm missing something.

There are a number of medications that can be used to lighten the skin for people who have skin pigmentation problems. Hydroquinone 2 to 5% cream, tretinoin 0.05% cream, azelaic acid 20% cream or glycolic acid 12% cream or lotion are some of the recommended treatments for a condition called melasma. Melasma are dark discolourations of the skin in patches often localised to the face. Melasma is more common in women and is more likely to occur during pregnancy or due to some medications.

All such treatments take a long time to have an effect and often treatment needs to be continued for a year or longer. It may also take a number of months before an effect is first seen. The hyperpigmentation may also return after the treatment is finished.

If it is true that Michael has a skin disease, how did it shrink the bone in his nose?
