Soft tissue infection in Kaleici: what to know locally
Kaleici is the walled old harbour quarter of Antalya, with Roman gates, a tower, narrow Ottoman streets and boutique hotels, so hot cobbled walks and long days outdoors are typical. Cuts from rocks and shells, sea water and sandy feet can lead to infection. Clean any wound at once and keep it dry and covered.

Trip for travellers: Kaleici is built for beach days. Plan swimming, pool time and local restaurants, and book boat trips or day excursions through your hotel or a local agency. Shops tend to sell beachwear, souvenirs and leather goods.
Causes and risk factors
Bacteria get in through a cut, bite, scrape, insect bite or blister. Sweat, shaving, sea water, small skin injuries and diabetes raise the risk.

Understanding soft tissue infection
A soft tissue infection involves the skin and the tissue just beneath it, for example an infected cut, boil, abscess or cellulitis, and it can spread if left untreated.
Care and treatment for soft tissue infection
The doctor looks at the area on camera, judges how serious it is, prescribes an antibiotic where suitable and arranges drainage or in-person review for an abscess or spreading infection. Depending on your case, the physician may suggest antibiotics, wound care and, for an abscess, drainage arranged in person.
- Do not squeeze or burst a boil or abscess
- Clean the area with soap and water
- Cover it with a clean dressing
