Okay, I know that this belongs in the other sports page...but thought this one deserved attention. Pictures of Sammy Sosa during his career and one from the recent Latin grammies....no, I'm not talking about steriods (unless this is an after affect): Posted Image |

Haha, that's the first thing that came to my mind. Does Sosa have the same skin condition? |

I am sure part of that is the flash and/or lighting. Also some of it could be that he just isn't out in the sun as much anymore - black people do get tans too. |

It's not a flash/lighting issue. Here's the full shot of each picture where he is standing next to his wife....his skin tone doesn't change. http://www.examiner.com/x-264-Celebrity-News-Examiner~y2009m11d7-Sammy-Sosa-is-white-as-a-ghost--does-he-have-Michael-Jacksons-skin-disease You'll also notice that there is an incredible change in his skin color but not the color of his lips. A former Cubs employee, Rebecca Polihornis, who speaks to Sosa often, said that Sosa had said that he was going through a skin 'rejuvenation' process. Very strange. |

There's this girl I always see around campus with very blotchy skin. I both feel sorry for her and grossed out at the same time. |

My sister actually has vitiligo. It gets really noticable in the summer when she has a tan. |

I have it as well, though it isn't nearly as bad as some people i have seen with it. The patches i have are mostly on the underside of my forearms and on my legs and they aren't too noticeable except for in the summertime once i get a good tan going. |

My sister's started out like that, but it is very noticable now (she's 40). It has spread to her lower face now and her arms and hands look really bad in the summer. |

Well i am 29 and mine hasn't gotten worse since i was about 14 thankfully. If it does though it does. I'm not too worried about it. I hope your sister isn't too bothered by hers. I am sure it would bother a lot of women to have it that bad. |
