If you're itching to pop that pesky pimple that has sprouted on your face, you'd better stop.
如果你正想要挤掉出现在你脸蛋上的烦人的痘痘,那你最好还是住手吧。
A man from Zhejiang, China, nearly lost his life after popping what he thought was a pimple near his upper lip, Ming Pao reported.
据《明报》报道,中国浙江省的一名男子在挤掉嘴唇附近他认为是“痘痘”的东西后,几乎丧命。
The 'pimple' had grown in size over time and caused him pain, so the 50-year-old gave it a squeeze and purged some pus.
随着时间的流逝,这个“痘痘”越长越大,于是这名50岁的男子挤掉了它,并且弄出了一些脓汁。
However, the area started to swell shortly afterward and his face ballooned the next day.

When the man sought help at a local hospital, he had developed a high fever and could not breathe properly. His blood glucose levels also rose rapidly.
当该男子在当地一家医院寻求帮助时,他发了高烧,并且无法正常呼吁。他的血糖也快速上升。
He was later transferred to Zhejiang Provincial First Hospital for treatment. There, the man had several brushes with death.

A doctor who treated the man said the area near the corner of his upper lip had turned black which signaled the tissue there had died.

为了救他的命,医生们移除了他上嘴唇附近约8厘米的死亡组织,并且从感染区域抽出了100毫升的脓汁。
After the operation, they continued to drain between 50 and 100ml of pus daily over the next five days.
