Travel Guide to Gumbet
Gumbet is a lively bay beside Bodrum with a long main street of shops, cafes and bars. Tourist tip: spend the day on the beach with jet-skiing, parasailing and banana-boat rides, then browse the souvenir stalls before sunset.
Symptoms of Cellulitis
- Fever or chills
- Pain or tenderness
- Redness that spreads over hours
- Red, hot, swollen skin
What Can Cause Cellulitis
Bacteria get in through a break in the skin such as a cut, bite, blister, graze or fungal infection between the toes. Sea water, rocks and bare feet raise the risk on holiday.
What Is Cellulitis?
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the skin and the tissue underneath, causing a red, warm, swollen and painful area that can spread rapidly.
Getting Cellulitis Treated in Gumbet
Photos and a video visit let the physician judge the area and, if cellulitis is likely, prescribe antibiotics. Because it can spread fast, the doctor may advise an in-person check the same day. Options may include oral antibiotics, and pain relief and elevation of the area.
- Wear water shoes and sturdy footwear on rocky shores
- Mark the edge of the redness with a pen to track spread
- Clean cuts and grazes promptly and cover them
