Can a Pimple Kill You?

Like I said, you're probably thinking, "The dude who wrote this post has to be on something, and I'm not talking about creatine. ;)"

However, when you look a little deeper, you may see the severity of this question.

Can Popping a Pimple Kill You?

When you see the original question and you turn it into the question written above, you'll say, "No! Popping a pimple cannot kill you." Because, from what I know, it can't.

Acne and Depression

Like I said above, "when you look a little deeper, you may see the severity of this question." Sure, having a pimple and popping that pimple will not kill you.

However, having multiple zits or for some individuals, even having one single zit, can often lead to a deep depression, where suicide is definitely possible.

Accutane Suicide Connection

Not only can having acne cause depression, but using medications to treat your problem can cause depression as well.

In a recent article, "Accutane Suicide Connection," the guest writer wrote, "His son, only 17 years old, killed himself while on Accutane. His acne was really bad and he was hoping that Accutane would help him, but instead it made him very depressed."

Back to the original Question...

"Can a Pimple Kill You?"

• Simply having a pimple is not directly life threatening.
• However, it can definitely be life threatening, indirectly.

Anyone who has acne should take it as seriously as anything else. You brush your teeth everyday, right? Well, you should also wash your face everyday.
