NBR: WTF is up with Sammy Sosa's skin color?

nadiarl

He says it is a new skin cream he is using. He looked a million times better before. Could it be a stunt to get publicity?

I think I read somewhere that he was going skin treatment because of all the sun he has been exposed to over the years of playing baseball. I think I read it on TMZ.

Wow! That's a major change! Maybe he has that same disease MJ had??

 

Wait...I just read that he doesnt have the disease.

Supposedly it's due to a skin cream, but what kind of skin cream changes your skin color all at once?

Oh no...

I doubt it is JUST skin cream as even the inside of his ears have lightened up. Maybe he is going through skin treatment for sun exposure or he's sick. But yeah, that's weird.

This is the only thing that makes sense to me. A cream would be too hard to get EVERYWHERE...and i'm pretty sure they don't laser your ears for sun damage....whatever the outcome may be, it's sad either way.

I think its shameful...I wish he didn't do it.  He was always of darker complexion and should be proud of that, I understand many people anglicize their features in the entertainment business and so on but I never liked that.  Appreciate the skin you are in and the way you were made.  just my two cents.

I used to use a prescription steriod creme for eczema (I forget the name of it) but it would leave white patches on my skin. It was after I applied the creme a bunch of times, but my skin didn't go back to it's normal color for months.
