Bodrum: Local Notes for Acne
Bodrum combines the castle, marina and nightlife, so long sunny days often finish with a late night and dehydration. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
Travel Guide to Bodrum
Bodrum is ancient Halicarnassus, birthplace of Herodotus and home of the Mausoleum, one of the Seven Wonders. Trip for travellers: visit the Castle of St Peter and its underwater archaeology museum, then stroll the marina and bazaar for leather sandals, sponges and jewellery. Water sports include windsurfing, sailing, diving and gulet cruises.
For Visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.
Why Acne Happens
Hormones, oil production, bacteria on the skin and genetics. Heat, sweat, sunscreen or cosmetics that block pores, and friction from straps or masks, can make it flare on holiday.
Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
Signs of Acne to Look for
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Red, tender spots
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Marks or scarring after spots heal
- Oily skin
Care and Treatment for Acne
The doctor examines your skin by video or from photos, suggests a routine and prescribes a cream or tablets when suitable, and says when seeing a dermatologist makes sense. Treatment can involve topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Avoid squeezing spots, which can scar
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
- Rinse off sweat and sunscreen after swimming
