A member asked:

Someone placed a dirty towel on my face. am i going to get acne or other bumps on my face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to say: The average adult raises their germ contaminated fingers to their face an average of 6 times an hour. Whether or not some dirty towel touches your face or not, your skin faces transient germ contact on a regular basis.This episode may or may not trigger an outbreak depending on what is on the towel.If it were used to clean up poison ivy oil, a breakout within 24 hours would be expected.
