The term “Triangle of Death” may make you think of the Bermuda triangle or some horror film , but did you know that this Danger Triangle is actually an area of the face?
Triangle of Death!!!
Sounds crazy, but that location actually exists , and it can be just as dangerous as it sounds.
Experts call it “danger triangle” but they’re referring to the same area which covers part of the eyes, the bridge of your nose, the corners of your mouth and upper lip, and if exposed to infection it could cause serious consequences.

You shouldn’t pop a pimple on your face. But you really shouldn’t pop a pimple in the “triangle of death” on your face. So what makes popping a pimple so much dangerous here ?
The reason is the blood vessels in this area drain to the back of your head and are a direct line to your brain - this means that any infections that develop in this area could go directly to the nerve centre.
So let’s say you pop a pimple there, that can create an open wound, and if bacteria get in there (you touch your face without washing dirty hands ,for example) you can develop an infection which may lead to vision loss, permanent paralysis or even death.
Bursting that spot might provide you with a morsel of satisfaction but popping a pimple could actually kill you.
so be sure to leave pimples in this area untouched.
**Here is how you can keep out of the "triangle of death":
• Clear nasal passages with a nasal rinse and make it as a part of your daily morning hygiene routine.
• Gently clear crust from the nose carefully using a clean tissue and not your nail or other device..
• Avoid popping or picking at facial pimples, blackheads, cuts and scabs.
• Treat any facial infection, sore or cut immediately.
• Line your nose with a emollient jelly to make it less crusty.
• Use rotary nose-hair trimmers that gently cut the hairs rather than pulling them out at the root.
I hope that it was a helpful subject , and maybe it will save someone's life.
