Pimples are not contagious. Your zits may have appeared for many different reasons. It may due to hormones (teens and kids get acne because of the hormone changes that come with puberty). Or it can be anywhere from sleeping with a dirty pillow, touching your face with dirty hands, using hair sprays or gels that clogged your pores, to wearing baseball caps and other hats that irritated your skin and caused pimples along the hairline.

No but he could have given you dandruff, which can also cause zits, especially if u have oily skin. If that is not the case n ur older than 18, please consult a dermologist

if you used his pillow the bacteria could have gotton on your face
next time take your own pillow . pillows carry alot of bacteria that can cause zits especially if he had his face on it. it is very possible

No, they are not contageous. It could be what you ate at your friend's house. Did you wash as usual? Maybe you were goofing off and didn't. Bacteria build up can cause it, as well as foods you eat. It can also be related to hormones.

yes and no. he can pass on the bacterias, which will cause the infection but it should pass in a couple of days. it's not THAT contageus. Just depends on how your skin reacts.

NO, they are just starting to show, how old are you? If your like 15 don't worry, it will soon disappear, if your older than 18, see a dermo, FAST

no pimples are not contageous.
Are you sure its not a rash or something similar? The only time that a pimple "spreads" is if you irritate it, it will then spread on your face only.
