Nallie answered Sunday March 5 2006, 5:40 pm: Acne is not contagious provided it is from the normal causes. However if a person has a different type of bacterial infection (strep or staph) that is growing in the acne lesion, that could be contagious. Of course most likely you'd have to be exposed to an open or draining area to become infected too. Washing with soap and water after contact is the best way to prevent contamination.
