In the morning, you notice acne on your forehead and you blame your friend that you met last night, just because she had pimples! Well, to the break the bubble, the acne could be the last of you sleeping with your make-up on! Because acne is not contagious!
Acne can’t spread to someone or to yourself. Many believe that if you have pimple some part of your body, the bacteria will spread to other areas.
For any type of infection to spread, there must be some medium that gets transmitted from one individual to another. Acne has nothing that can be transmitted from one person to another. So it is impossible for someone to get it from another person.
Acne can spread if you fiddle with the infected area and then touch other areas that are prone to acne or uninfected sebaceous glands. Thus, the most important thing is to maintain hygiene. Pricking pimples will be of no help, as this will further aggravate the problem.
Wash the acne prone area as often as you can and treat it with skin care products. Remove every residue of make-up before going to bed. Don’t touch acne without washing hands.
So next time you suffer from acne, don’t blame your friend! Instead alter your skin-care routine and lifestyle to keep acne at bay!
