A member asked:
I popped a zit filled with blood and pus on my cheek. now i have a headache (which happens from time to time). is this a coincidence or related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Never pop a zit: Infection from the face can, if manipulated, spread to the cavernous sinus causing a serious condition. That said, it does not sound like your headache is anything new and happens from time to time so likely unrelated.
