Popping a pimple in the “danger zone,” which is the area from the corners of your mouth to the bridge of your nose, can be risky due to the presence of important blood vessels and nerves in this area. If these structures get damaged during the process of popping a pimple, it can lead to infections, scarring, and in severe cases, potentially dangerous complications like the spread of infection to the brain. It’s best to avoid popping pimples in this area and instead, consider other methods of treating acne or consult a dermatologist for safe removal options.
