About Eczema
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a long-lasting skin condition that causes dry, itchy, inflamed patches which come and go.
Symptoms of Eczema
- Dry, scaly skin
- Cracked or weeping skin
- Red or darker patches

Common Triggers
A sensitive skin barrier and an overactive immune response. Triggers on holiday include heat, sweating, pool chemicals, salt water, sun lotion, stress and unfamiliar soaps.
Eczema in Bosphorus: What to Know Locally
Bosphorus ferry trips mean hours of sun and wind on deck, and sunburn and colds are the typical result. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the doctor how your days are going.
Travel Guide to Bosphorus
The Bosphorus is the strait linking the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, lined with palaces, fortresses and wooden waterside mansions. Tourist tip: take a public ferry or private cruise past Dolmabahce, Ortakoy and Rumeli Fortress.
