Popping pimples in the "danger triangle" of the face, an area from the nose bridge to the mouth corners, is often cautioned against due to potential serious infections, though such cases are extremely rare. Experts advise against pimple popping in general, as it can lead to infections, scarring, and skin discoloration. Instead, they recommend using treatments like hydrocolloid bandages and over-the-counter medications such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. For persistent or severe acne, consulting a dermatologist is advised.
