Triangle of death: Don't pop pimples in this body region

“The area of the face connecting the nose to the corners of the mouth is thought to be a particularly dangerous area of the face because of their close connection to the brain,” Joshua Zeichner, MD, an associate professor of dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, told Health.

The danger triangle is the area from the corner of your lips to the bridge of your nose. You can make a triangle using your fingers by putting the thumbs on the corners of your lips and connecting your pointer fingers at the bridge of your nose.

In general, dermatologists do not advise that you pop your pimples. You may push the contents of the pimple deeper into the skin, leading to complications like permanent scarring and more painful and noticeable acne.
