Local tips for soft tissue infection in Old Town
Kaleici’s steep cobbled lanes, stone houses and old harbour reflect the heat, so long wanders often end in blisters, turned ankles and heat exhaustion. Blisters from long walks and scratches on crowded streets can become infected. Clean them and keep them covered.
How soft tissue infection is treated
The doctor looks at the area on camera, judges how serious it is, prescribes an antibiotic where appropriate and arranges drainage or in-person review for an abscess or spreading infection. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest antibiotics, wound care and, for an abscess, drainage arranged in person.
- Clean the area with soap and water
- Do not squeeze or burst a boil or abscess
