The blood vessels in this part of the face -- known to some as the 'triangle of death' -- have a direct link to blood vessels close to the brain.
There are many triangles that we’ve been told to be wary of – Bermuda, love, isosceles. Add another one to the list: the “triangle of death,” also known as the “danger triangle.” This particular triangle can be found on your face.
You can’t see it, but it’s there. Touch the tips of your thumbs together, then bring your pointer fingers together, forming a triangle. Now bring this triangle to your face so that the tip of the triangle is above the bridge of your nose and the bottom is resting below your upper lip. Your fingers are now outlining the danger zone – “the triangle of death.”
It sounds very dramatic, I know. The scary name comes from the fact that the blood vessels in this part of the face have a direct link to blood vessels close to the brain. There are also important structures around the eyes, nose, and mouth. So, skin infections in this area have theto spread and cause dangerous complications – in reality, though, serious brain infections are incredibly rare.
There are other, more common types of infections in this area that you should take steps to avoid. Popping a pimple, picking at a scab, plucking out nose hair ….. all of these things can break the skin and lead to infections like furuncles and cellulitis These days, many bacterial infections are harder to treat because of antibiotic resistance, especially certain kinds of staph infections, so it’s best to try to prevent them from happening.
Here are some tips for preventing and treating skin wounds, both in the “triangle of death” and anywhere else on your body as well.If you have a pimple, do NOT pop it, no matter how many “zit-popping” videos you watch! Even if it doesn’t cause a serious problem — it can leave scars and discolorationWash any cuts with soap and water daily.Contact your doctor for signs of infection like redness, pain, and drainage.
