No, acne is not contagious. You cannot catch acne from someone by using their belongings (like a pen) or being physically close to them, such as through hugging. Acne is caused by clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria, and inflammation, and is typically influenced by factors like genetics, hormones, and skin care habits, not by contact with others.
