Impetigo Explained
Impetigo is a contagious bacterial skin infection that causes sores and honey-coloured crusts, mostly on the face and hands and often in children.
How Impetigo Feels
- Sores around the nose and mouth
- Small blisters in some cases
- Red sores that burst and form golden-yellow crusts
- Swollen glands in some cases
Common Triggers
Bacteria, generally Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus, enter broken skin such as bites, grazes or eczema. It spreads through touch and shared towels.
Demre: Local Notes for Impetigo
Demre suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Other places within reach include Antalya, Kemer, Tekirova. 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 Demre
Demre sits beside ancient Myra, known for its Lycian rock tombs, Roman theatre and the church of St Nicholas. Trip for travellers: visit the sights, then boat to the sunken ruins at Kekova from nearby Ucagiz. Shopping is simple, with local souvenirs and fruit stalls.
