A MAN was left fighting for his life after popping a spot in the \u2018triangle of death\u2019 area of his face in China, reports say.<\/p>\n

Mr Chen's condition dramatically deteriorated after he popped the pimple on his chin.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

He immediately suffered a swollen mouth and intense fever, according to media reports.<\/p>\n

The reports also say that his condition quickly worsened and an infection spread to his lungs.<\/p>\n

He was then rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with double pneumonia.<\/p>\n

Chen was reportedly fighting for his life in the intensive care unit but has since been stabilised.<\/p>\n

His tragic plight may have been avoided if he listened to his wife, who claims she told him not to pop the spot.<\/p>\n

His wife, Ms Tian, said: "He had a pimple on his chin, I was telling him not to pop it because he had done it before.<\/p>\n

"Who would have thought that it would get so serious this time."<\/p>\n

Dr Zhu, who treated Chen, told the media: "He had mouth infection which initially triggered double pneumonia and collapsed lungs. His condition was critical."<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He then went on to warn others to avoid making the same mistake as Chen.<\/p>\n

He added: "The first thing is to avoid squeezing it with your hands.<\/p>\n

"More importantly, if the surrounding skin becomes red, swollen or painful, or the patient develops a fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible."<\/p>\n

Also named as the Danger Triangle, the 'Triangle of Death' stretches from the tip of the nose to a point on either side of the lips, roughly where dimples usually appear.<\/p>\n

Picking at skin inside this danger zone can have serious implications for your overall health, Dr Zhu warned.<\/p>\n

The reason the \u2018triangle\u2019 is so notorious as that\u2019s where your veins are that lead back to your cavernous sinus, which is found in your brain, according to LadBible.<\/p>\n

They also claim that a skin infection in that area could cause a blood clot, leading to a stroke.<\/p>\n
