According to Chinese media such as Sina News, a 20-year-old college student at Ningbo University in Zhejiang Province recently stayed up all night preparing for a test and forced him to squeeze his hands without washing when he developed a pimple the size of a bean on his face.
Since then, the wound has festered, symptoms of high fever, cough, and phlegm have appeared, and the condition has worsened.
He felt a needle-like pain in his right chest and broke out in a cold sweat every time he breathed, and eventually the fever rose to 39 degrees and went to the hospital.
CT scans revealed that some lung tissue had already been damaged. The specialist in charge said "S.aureus present on the skin surface traveled through the bloodstream to the lungs and destroyed the tissue""Bacterial infections from facial wounds led to sepsis, causing a systemic inflammatory response" he explained.
Fortunately, A was discharged from the hospital after 12 days of hospitalization, and medical staff warned against squeezing acne in the facial danger triangle (around the nose and mouth)' with this case.
In this area, blood vessels are connected to the brain, which can be life-threatening in case of infection. Experts emphasized that the habit of hand-woven acne should be avoided, saying it is a rare case, but there is a possibility.
