Nope.
Allergies are not contagious. They are the person's immune systerm itself reacting to something it doesn't like. Its very specific to each person.

Acne or pimples are a complexion problem resulting in skin inflammations. The specific type and cause of an acne problem may affect how the acne is treated. Acne can be caused by stress, hormonal activity, bacteria, steroids, and over-active glands. Nearly 17 million people in the United States have acne.

Skin allergies are not contageous. But secondary bacterial skin infections may occur. If so, it becomes contageous.

No, allergies are not contagious. They are a body's specific reaction to a specific allergen source, and everyone reacts differently to them.

If there's a white head on any of the places that happens to pop when you are near it, you could break out as well.
