Is this mystery skin-bleaching cream sold on eBay the secret behind Jacko's white face?

He's been claiming for years that his lightened skin is the result of a rare medical condition.
But the secret behind Michael Jackson's skin 'problem' may have finally been discovered after a fan put his skin whitening cream on eBay.

The world's most prolific collector of Jacko memorabilia has put this and a number of other items - seized by the police as evidence after the singer was arrested on suspicion of child molestation - up for sale on the auction website.
The seller, whose username is 'vaccaro99' has put up a starting bid of $25,000 (£14,000) and in the item's description claims that a former employee of the singer, who authenticated the items, said Jackson, 50, would have cases of the cream to hand.
Did this mystery cream turn Michael Jackson white?
Also included in the sale is a letter explaining why Jackson wanted an annulment from Lisa Marie Presley, again with a starting bid of $25,000.
There is also a handwritten note from the star to his late sister-in-law Dee Dee which he penned during his four-month 2005 trial, which has a starting bid of $10,000 (£5,700), and a 'Do Not Disturb' door sign from Neverland - with a silhouette of a small boy sitting in a circle.
That is on sale for $5,000 (£2,850), the same price as a 'never-seen-before' photograph of Jacko with a young boy on his lap, both dressed as cowboys.
The seller does not say how he came by the items.
