A member asked:
If you are at a restaurant or get coffee from somewhere and the person who brings you the food or makes your drink has acne, can you get acne from that?

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

No, acne is not contagious. There is no chance of getting acne from eating food or drink from a server. Good luck.
