NO PINS EITHER –
Aug. 22, 2025 – This everyday grooming practice “could kill you”, the medical expert warned. Squeezing pimples is a habit many perform without a second thought. While it’s typically safe, there are specific situations where it could present a deadly threat. In a clip shared on TikTok, Doctor Suraj Kukadia explained this concern. Known online as Dr Sooj, he cautioned against touching what’s called the “triangle of death”. It comes as a dermatologist shares the surprising thing you should do before getting into swimming pools. The phrase “triangle of death” describes the zone from the bridge of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. The hazard stems from the heightened chance of a dangerous infection that could potentially travel to your brain or bloodstream when squeezing a blemish in this region.
