Atsuko,
MJ had complexes about just about everything about himself, it seems! Like you, I thought for a long time that he had bleached his skin and wore make-up to look white. I still think he did that as well, but it is now documented and well-accepted that Michael Jackson did, bizarrely and ironically, suffer from the rare skin condition of vitiligo, an auto-immune syndrome that manifests itself with attacks in the skin against melanin cells (the cells that give our skin color-the more melanin, the darker our skin; the less, the lighter). What a hard time this guy had!
