What is acne?
Acne is a very common skin problem in which hair follicles get clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to spots, blackheads and at times painful lumps.
Why acne happens
Hormones, oil production, skin bacteria and family history are the main factors. On holiday, heat, sweat, sunscreen or make-up that block pores and rubbing from straps can trigger flare-ups.
Gundogan: local notes for acne
In Gundogan most days revolve around the beach, the pool and the hotel restaurant, which is where holiday illnesses tend to start. Other places within reach include Gumusluk, Ortakent, Bitez. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the physician what you have been doing.
Care and treatment for acne
The doctor can look at your skin by video or photos, suggest a routine and prescribe topical or oral treatment where suitable, and say when a dermatologist visit makes sense. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Rinse off sweat and sunscreen after swimming
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
- Avoid squeezing spots, which can scar
