Impetigo explained
Impetigo is a contagious bacterial skin infection that causes sores and honey-coloured crusts, mostly on the face and hands and frequently in children.
How impetigo feels
- Red sores that burst and form golden-yellow crusts
- Itching
- Sores around the nose and mouth
- Small blisters in some cases
Causes and risk factors
Bacteria, generally Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus, enter broken skin such as bites, grazes or eczema. It spreads through touch and shared towels.
Olympos-Cirali: local notes for impetigo
Olympos and Cirali are forested, with trails, ruins and a pebble beach, so insect bites, scrapes and sun are common. Remote tours and outdoor days make it harder to reach help, so carry water, basic supplies and your medicines, and contact us early.
Travel guide to Olympos-Cirali
Olympos was a Lycian port city, and today its ruins sit in a forested valley beside Cirali. Tourist tip: walk to the Chimaera flames at Yanartas after dark, hike a stretch of the Lycian Way and watch for nesting loggerhead turtles on the beach in season. Shopping is minimal; swimming and snorkelling are the water activities.
