Understanding Acne
Acne is a frequent skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
Common Triggers
Hormonal changes, oily skin, bacteria and genetics lie behind acne. Heat, sweat, sunscreen or cosmetics that block pores, and friction from straps or masks, can make it flare on holiday.
Symptoms of Acne
- Red, tender spots
- Oily skin
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Blackheads and whiteheads
Local Tips for Acne in Alanya
Alanya is a lively spot, so late nights, alcohol and sun often combine into one bad day. Other places within reach include Kas, Kalkan, Kadriye. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the physician what you have been drinking and taking.
Travel Guide to Alanya
In antiquity the town was Coracesium, later Kalonoros, and the Seljuk sultan Alaeddin Keykubad gave it the name Alaiye, which became Alanya. Tourist tip: climb to Alanya Castle, see the Red Tower and Damlatas Cave, and shop the bazaar for souvenirs and leather. Cleopatra Beach is good for swimming, with diving, jet-skiing and paragliding on offer.
How Acne Is Treated
The doctor examines your skin by video or from photos, suggests a routine and prescribes a cream or tablets when appropriate, and says when seeing a dermatologist makes sense. Typical choices are topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Rinse off sweat and sunscreen after swimming
- Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen and cosmetics
