Kadikoy was ancient Chalcedon, long before the old peninsula across the water grew. Tourist tip: take the ferry from Eminonu, graze the fish and produce market and stroll Moda’s seafront; Bagdat Caddesi nearby is the main fashion street.

About Acne
Acne is a frequent skin condition in which hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin, causing spots, blackheads and sometimes painful lumps.
How to Lower Your Risk of Acne
Cleanse gently, use oil-free products, avoid squeezing spots and keep sweat and hair away from the skin in hot weather.
How Acne Is Treated
Using video or photos the doctor assesses the skin, recommends a care routine, prescribes topical or oral treatment if suitable and advises when a dermatologist is the better option. Typical choices are topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids or topical antibiotics, and sometimes oral antibiotics.
- Avoid squeezing spots, which can scar
- Wash gently twice a day with a mild cleanser
