Acne in Konyaalti: 24/7 On-Call Doctor, Online Prescription and Local Support
Whether you are on a short break or staying long in Konyaalti, a doctor is a message away for acne: video visits, e-prescriptions and support all day and night.
How acne feels
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Deeper painful lumps or cysts
- Oily skin
What can cause acne
Hormones, oil production, bacteria on the skin and genetics. Heat, perspiration, pore-clogging sun lotions or cosmetics and friction from straps can make it worse while travelling.
Understanding acne
When pores fill with sebum and dead skin, the result is acne: pimples, blackheads and occasionally sore nodules.
Konyaalti: local notes for acne
Konyaalti’s long pebble beach and promenade are popular with families, so sun, swimming and sea-water problems are common. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been doing.
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. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Choose oil-free, non-comedogenic sunscreen and cosmetics
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
