Michael Jackson is suffering from a rare skin disease that is resistant to antibiotics, according to reports. The condition could develop into a flesh-eating disorder if treatment is unsuccessful, claim The Sun.

A source said: "Michael Jackson has a severe staph infection that he contracted during work to reconstruct his nose. The disease is an MRSA-style infection because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip."
