An offending pimple had been bothering Katie for some time, and she popped it to try and relieve the pain.
In an hour, the pimple swelled, and the pain was much worse! Katie took herself to the emergency room only to learn that she had a case of cellulitis, a form of staph infection.
Doctors told Katie that having the infection on her face was very bad because it could have spread to her eyes and even her brain!
The most likely cause of the infection was her makeup brushes! Dr. Jessica Krant of State University of New York’s Downstate Medical Center said that cellulitis is commonly confused for pimples.
Once the infection reaches the brain, sinuses, eye socket or bones, they are much harder to treat. Katie spent four days in the hospital recovering! Share away, people.
