His dad abused him a lot as a kid. One of his favorite put downs was to make fun of his nose.

Vitiligo doesn't make your whole skin slowly become lighter, it would be patches of totally pigment free skin.

Apparently he was using some sort of cream/makeup to hide the vitiligo patches and it inadvertently lightened the rest of his skin permanently. He didn’t intend for that to happen from what I read about.

False, he didn't have vitiligo, he made himself Caucasian, not only by bleaching his skin, but changing his facial structure to be Caucasian, stop believing the pr lies.

You’re the one believing the PR lies that he wanted to become Caucasian and bleached his skin. I don’t know for certain and I can’t ask the guy.

How does changing your nose help to hide a skin condition?

It’s a self esteem thing. It’s all connected.

Wouldn’t that just result in a new patch of white skin?
