Triangle of Death

The "Triangle of Death" is a dangerous area on your face, specifically between the corners of your nose and upper lip. This region contains important blood vessels connected directly to your brain. Infections, such as from a pimple or cut in this area, can potentially spread rapidly through these vessels, leading to serious complications like brain abscesses or meningitis. Because of this risk, infections here should be treated promptly and with care, and it's advisable to seek medical attention if the area becomes inflamed or infected.
