Shane Hewitt teams up with ER doctor Mitch Shulman to talk about one of the internet’s most tempting—and dangerous—habits: pimple popping. Sparked by a viral TikTok case where a Michigan woman suffered extreme facial swelling after trying to pop a cyst in the so-called “triangle of death,” Dr. Mitch explains why that part of your body is a no-go zone. They dive into the science behind the risk, the real dangers that can land you in the ER, and other everyday mistakes people don’t realize could have serious consequences.
