Good news: Hi Llana, Sorry to hear you are having trouble with acne. The good news is that acne is not a contagious condition. It is normal to have and is something that the vast majority of people in your age range experience to some degree. To minimize acne, I would recommend starting out with an acne face wash 1-2 times per day. You can find these at almost any convenience store. Hope this helps.
