Marmaris: Local Notes for Insect Bite
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. 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.
Care and Treatment for Insect Bite
Your doctor examines photos, separates bites from other rashes, recommends treatment and watches for infection or allergic reaction. Treatment can involve cold compresses, antihistamines and mild steroid cream.
- Wash the area and apply a cold compress
