At first glance, it may seem that there is nothing wrong with plucking your nose hairs. Especially if they interfere with your comfort and spoil your appearance.

But in such a matter one must exercise great care.

The fact is that if the hair is removed incorrectly, there is a high probability of a dangerous disease – sinus thrombosis.

Otolaryngologist Vladimir Zaitsev spoke in more detail about the problem, NEWS.ru reports.

He noted in a conversation with journalists that when a hair is removed abruptly, inflammation or bleeding occurs at the site of the torn out follicle.

As a result, suppuration is possible, which will turn into sycosis of the nasal vestibule. If the situation is neglected, suppuration will move to the brain vessels, and this is life-threatening.

The problem cannot be ignored; you should consult a doctor and undergo treatment.

Usually, as Zaitsev noted, the disease is treated in intensive care and with antibiotics.

In addition, it is important to consider that with such an illness, there is a lightning-fast increase in symptoms. The mortality rate reaches 50 percent.

Therefore, if you want to remove hair from your nose, you should do it carefully and with scissors so as not to injure your nose in any way.
