Having A Zit On Face With Itching. What Could This Be?
This will sound stupid and I am hopefully just being a psyching myself out… On the very edge of my face (where my jawline meets my neck) just below my left ear, I had a huge zit. I had an itch there about an hour ago and scratched it off…
I read an article the other day stating that it is possible from popping zits to develop something as deadly as a brain hemorrhage… Based on where this pimple was located (depending on how sensitive the skin is), could there be any dangerous effects? How long would these affects take?
The only affect is that I am a little bit tired (the affected area did not and is not bleeding), but that is because it is almost 12:30 a.m. and I am sleep deprived.
