There is a rich network of blood vessels around the nose and lips, which communicate with the blood vessels in the brain. Therefore, this area is called the "dangerous triangle" in medicine. If you pull out your beard carelessly, the bacterial infection of the skin around the lips and its hair follicles and sebaceous glands can easily spread to the cavernous sinuses in the cranial cavity, which may cause meningitis or septicemia, which is very dangerous. In addition, even if the skin infection can be cured, it is possible that scars, nodules or pigmentation will be left on the surface due to excessive damage, and the result is that you will become uglier instead of being beautiful.
