#MindBuzzer: Stop popping pimples in the ‘Triangle of Death’, you could be inviting death!


We’ve all felt the urge to pop a pimple—but did you know that squeezing one in a small area of your face, called the “Triangle of Death/ Danger Triangle” or “nasolabial triangle,” could lead to blindness, stroke, paralysis, or even death? It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true.

What Is the Triangle of Death/ Danger Triangle?

This triangle covers the area from the corners of your mouth to the bridge of your nose. What makes it dangerous? Dr. Sandra Lee also known as Dr. Pimple Popper explains…

Warning Signs to Watch

If you pop a pimple in this area and notice fever, severe headache, swelling around the eyes, vision problems, or facial weakness, get medical help immediately.

Next time you spot a zit on your nose or near your mouth, remember—the “Triangle of Death/ Danger Triangle” is no joke. Protect yourself by resisting that pop and staying safe.
