Rosacea Explained
Persistent redness, flushing and occasional small bumps on the cheeks, nose and forehead characterise rosacea, a chronic skin condition.
Typical Symptoms
- Visible small blood vessels
- Spots without blackheads
- Persistent redness in the centre of the face
- Flushing
- Burning or stinging skin
Common Triggers
The exact cause is not known, but heat, strong sun, alcohol, hot drinks, spicy food and stress commonly trigger flares, which is why holidays can make it worse.
Sultanahmet: Local Notes for Rosacea
Sultanahmet holds the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, so queues and miles of walking in the heat are the norm. Long walking days, heat and crowds can slow recovery, so build in rest and shade and tell the physician how your days are going.
Travel Guide to Sultanahmet
In antiquity this peninsula was Byzantium, later Constantinople. Tourist tip: allow a full day for Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace, then shop the Grand Bazaar for carpets, lamps and ceramics. Evening Bosphorus cruises start nearby.
