About cellulitis
This bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue causes a hot, red, swollen and tender patch that may enlarge quickly.
Common triggers
Bacteria entering through a break in the skin, such as a cut, insect bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Sea water, rocks and walking barefoot add to the risk on holiday.
Seferihisar: local notes for cellulitis
Seferihisar is built for beach days, and the strong sun, salty water and shared buffets behind them explain most of the health problems travellers report. Other places within reach include Karaburun, Dikili, Centrum. On beach holidays, heat, sun and swimming can aggravate many conditions, so rest, drink water and tell the doctor what you have been doing.
Prevention tips
Treat cuts and grazes promptly, moisturise dry skin, wear footwear on rocky shores and treat athlete’s foot early.
How cellulitis is treated
Photos and a video visit let the doctor judge the area and, if cellulitis is likely, prescribe antibiotics. Since it can spread fast, the physician may advise an in-person check the same day. Options may include oral antibiotics, and painkillers and elevation of the area.
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
