Sunburn in Akyaka: What to Know Locally
Akyaka is known for kitesurfing and the cool Azmak river, so water sports and sun exposure are typical. On boat trips and mountain tours the sun is stronger than it feels. Cover up, reapply sunscreen and carry water.
Travel Guide to Akyaka
Akyaka sits at the head of the Gokova bay, with the cool Azmak river running through town. Tourist tip: try kitesurfing or windsurfing in the afternoon breeze, then eat riverside and look at the traditional wooden houses.
Why Sunburn Happens
Spending too long in intense sun unprotected; pale skin, midday rays, glare from water and sand and some medicines all increase the chance.
What Is Sunburn?
Sunburn is skin damage caused by too much ultraviolet light from the sun. The skin turns red, hot and painful within hours, and may blister and peel in the days that follow.
How Sunburn Feels
- Red, hot and tender skin
- Swelling and blisters in more severe cases
- Headache, chills or tiredness
- Pain and tightness
- Peeling skin a few days later
How Sunburn Is Treated
The doctor looks at the skin on camera, judges how deep the burn is, advises on painkillers and skin care and prescribes treatment where it is appropriate. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest cooling gels, moisturisers, painkillers and, for severe burns, a stronger steroid cream.
- Get out of the sun and cool the skin with a cool shower or damp cloth
- Apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel
- Do not burst blisters, and keep the area covered from the sun
