Brooke Hyland, known from Dance Moms, caused a stir on TikTok when she shared a video with a swollen eye due to a popped pimple near her eyebrow. Concerned commenters warned her about the "triangle of death," an area from the nose to the mouth corners, fearing a dangerous infection. After visiting the doctor and getting antibiotics, she clarified the risk.
This danger zone has direct pathways to the brain, increasing infection risks. The cavernous sinus, veins behind the eye, can lead to severe complications if infected. Infections there might trigger brain-related issues, though fatalities are rare.
Experts advise against popping pimples in this area, suggesting gentle approaches for healing. Warm compresses and pimple patches can help. Medical intervention might be necessary if infection occurs. Monitoring for spreading infections or systemic illnesses like fever is crucial.
Although serious, prompt medical attention can manage infections, averting severe outcomes. Hyland's experience highlights the importance of caution in dealing with facial infections, particularly in the critical "triangle of death." (Via)
