Understanding eczema
Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, leads to dry, itchy and red patches of skin that flare and resolve repeatedly.
Why eczema happens
The skin barrier is fragile and the immune system overreacts. Heat, sweat, chlorine, salt water, sunscreens, stress and new soaps can trigger flares.
Marmaris: local notes for eczema
Marmaris is famous for its marina, boat trips and lively bar streets, so sun, alcohol and tummy upsets are all part of the holiday risk. 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.
Travel guide to Marmaris
Marmaris was ancient Physkos, and its castle overlooks the harbour. Trip for travellers: explore the old town, shop the Grand Bazaar for textiles, leather and spices, and join a boat trip along the bays. Water sports include jet-skiing, parasailing, diving and windsurfing.
