Why You Should Never, Ever Pop a Pimple in The “Danger Triangle”

Seriously, don't do it!

Although it’s not the ideal way to treat the blemish, there is a time for pimple popping. It’s a process of patience and if you jump the gun too soon, you’ll be left with your skin even more irritated and red, and no one wants that. But no matter the timing, there is one area you always need to avoid when it comes to eradicating acne by popping, according to experts. (This is why you should never treat a pimple with toothpaste.)
Whatever you do, never pop a pimple in the so-called “danger triangle,” a region which reaches from the corners of your mouth to the bridge of your nose. This reason for avoiding pimple-popping in this region has to do with infection risk, which is significantly higher in this area due to a concentration of veins which lead back to your the cavernous sinus region of your brain.
“If there were a serious skin infection in this area that went untreated, and then subsequently tracked back to the brain, it could theoretically prove fatal,” Dr. Jeremy Brauer, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at the NYU Langone Medical Center, tells Men’s Health.  
An infection from a popped pimple in this region is easily treatable with antibiotics, so if you suspect you’re developing one, don’t fret. Signs of infection include redness, swelling, drainage, bleeding, and continued development of pus. If these symptoms persist, seek medical attention. (If you want to keep your skin clear, avoid these foods.)

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems. Turmeric has been found to help fight off inflammation with almost the same efficacy as anti-inflammatory medication, just without the side effects. 2.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
