A member asked:
Am i likely to get facial acne when my sexual partner has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's not catching. The bacteria that are part of the cause are ubiquitous. If your special person wishes, he/she can be treated effectively. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not worked after two weeks, a physician can give prescription-strength medication.
