Great…now we have to worry about our “Triangle of Death.” A young mother named Lish Marie ended up in the emergency room after she popped a pimple on her face, specifically near her nostril, in the so‑called “triangle of death.” This area, stretching from the bridge of the nose to the corners of the mouth, has veins that lead directly to the brain. Within hours, her face became so swollen that only one side could smile.
Doctors treated her with antibiotics and steroids to stop the infection from spreading. Experts warn that even a small pimple in this zone can let harmful bacteria enter the bloodstream, risking serious issues like brain infections or paralysis. They advise avoiding popping pimples there and using gentle skincare or seeing a dermatologist instead.
