Bodrum: local notes for cellulitis
Bodrum combines the castle, marina and nightlife, so long sunny days often finish with a late night and dehydration. Late nights, alcohol and little sleep can make many conditions harder to shake, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been drinking and taking.
Symptoms of cellulitis
- Redness that spreads over hours
- Skin that looks tight or glossy
- Pain or tenderness
What is cellulitis?
This bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue causes a hot, red, swollen and tender patch that may enlarge rapidly.
What can cause cellulitis
A cut, insect bite, blister, scrape or athlete’s foot gives bacteria a way in. Sea water, rocks and walking barefoot add to the risk on holiday.
Avoiding cellulitis on holiday
Treat cuts and grazes promptly, moisturise dry skin, wear footwear on rocky shores and treat athlete’s foot early.
How cellulitis is treated
The doctor looks at your photos and the area on camera, prescribes antibiotics if it looks like cellulitis and may suggest being seen the same day since it can progress rapidly. Treatment can involve oral antibiotics, and painkillers and elevation of the area.
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Do not scratch bites
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
