A member asked:
If you touch something that someone with acne touched can you get acne/pimples from touching something that touched?

Acne is not a contagious condition so you cannot catch acne in this manner. If you have acne, you can see a dermatologist for treatment. Good luck to you!

No, acne is not a contagious disease, check cdc.gov for transmissible diseases and ways of transmission.
