Images circulating on social media show a serious case of an advanced facial infection that required urgent medical intervention. According to doctors, such cases often begin as a small pimple, cyst, or minor wound, but when neglected or treated incorrectly, they can worsen significantly.
Infections on the face—especially near the nose and eyes—are particularly dangerous because they can spread rapidly. The risks include the spread of bacteria into the bloodstream (sepsis), severe infections that can reach the brain, damage to the eyes, permanent facial deformity, as well as intense pain accompanied by fever and pus.
These risks mainly arise from squeezing pimples at home, poor hygiene, the use of unclean tools, unprofessional treatments, delays in seeking medical help, and a weakened immune system due to conditions such as diabetes, stress, smoking, or alcohol use.
Any swelling, redness, or wound that does not heal in time should not be ignored. Early intervention by healthcare professionals prevents serious complications and can save lives.
Taking care of your health starts with paying attention to small warning signs.
