He then wrote an autobiography account of his journey as a medical student to family doctor on his other blog http://afamilydoctorstale.blogspot.comThis autobiography account “A Family Doctor’s Tale” was combined with his early “A Simple Guide to Medical Disorders” into a new Wordpress Blog “A Family Doctor’s Tale” on http://ken-med.com.From which many free articles from the blog was taken and put together into 1000 eBooks.He apologized for typos and spelling mistakes in his earlier books.He will endeavor to improve the writing in futures.Some people have complained that the simple guides are too simple.For their information they are made simple in order to educate the patients.The later books go into more details of medical disorders.He has published 1000 eBooks on various subjects on health, 1 autobiography of his medical journey, another on the autobiography of a Cancer survivor, 2 children stories and one how to study for his nephew and grand-daughter.The purpose of these simple guides is to educate patient on health disorders and not meant as textbooks.He does not do any night duty since 2000 ever since Dr Tan had his second stroke.His clinic is now relocated to the Buona Vista Community Centre.The 2 units of his original clinic are being demolished to make way for a new Shopping Mall.He is now doing some blogging and internet surfing (bulletin boards since the 1980's) startingwith the Apple computer and going to PC.The entire PC is upgraded by himself from XT to the present Pentium duo core.The present Intel i7 CPU is out of reach at the moment because the CPU is still expensive.He is also into DIY changing his own toilet cistern and other electric appliance.His hunger for knowledge has not abated and he is a lifelong learner.The children have all grown up and there are 2 grandchildren who are even more technically advanced than the grandfather where mobile phones are concerned.This book is taken from some of the many articles in his blog (now with 740 posts) A Family Doctor’s Tale.Dr Kee is the author of:"A Family Doctor's Tale""Life Lessons Learned From The Study And Practice Of Medicine""Case Notes From A Family Doctor"

      Introduction

      Ode to Hypo-pigmentation

      Hypo-pigmentation is the lightening of an area of skin

      This is caused by a decrease of skin melanin.

      The most common types of hypo-pigmentation of the skin

      Are post-inflammatory hypo-pigmentation, vitiligo and scarring

      PIH is caused by decreased pigment after infection or injury to skin

      Vitiligo is an acquired autoimmune disease with loss of melanin

      Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin which causes white spots

      Pityriasis alba is a mild childhood eczema with pale macules or dots

      Concealed cosmetic consists of applying a cosmetic pigment medication

      The use of lasers has improved the treatment of hypo-pigmentation

      An alternative treatment of laser is tattooing of the depigmented skin

      The use of ultra violet therapy on the depigmented skin may help in darkening

      -An original poem by Kenneth Kee

      Interesting Tips about the Hypo-pigmentation

      A Healthy Lifestyle

      1. Take a well Balanced Diet

      2. Treatment of hypo-pigmentation

      Management of hypo-pigmentation may include:

      a. Cosmetics,

      b. Ultraviolet therapy,

      Widespread or generalized hypo-pigmentation may respond to cosmetic coverage, psoralen ultraviolet A-range therapy (with or without psoralens) or narrow-band ultraviolet-B therapy.

      c. Surgical grafting

      Patients with stable, limited vitiligo may benefit from surgical grafting.

      d. Depigmentation therapy.

      Depigmentation therapy may be needed for those with extensive hypo-pigmentation.

      For other acquired disorders, treatment of the underlying condition may allow improvement or resolution of the skin pigmentation disorder.

      3. Keep bones and body strong

      Bone marrow produces our blood

      Eat foods rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese, milk, and dark green vegetables.

      Eat foods rich in Vitamin D, like eggs, fatty fish, cereal, and fortified milk.

      Eat food rich in Vitamins B and C such as green vegetables and fruits

      Zinc and other minerals are important to the body

      4. Get enough rest and Sleep

      Avoid stress and tension

      5. Exercise and stay active.

      It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 2½ hours a week.

      One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.

      Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.

      6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman.

      Alcohol use also increases the chance
