No, it is not a contagious disease, unless there is staphylococcal contamination of the acne lesions.
Most dermatological conditions are affected, some to a greater and some to a lesser extent, by psychological stress. The common embryonic origin of brain and skin cells, which originate from the so-called exoderm, probably contributes to this. Moreover, modern research has shown that neurotransmitters and chemical mediators present in the brain are also produced in smaller quantities in the skin. Thus, stress can act as a triggering, or aggravating factor in a multitude of skin diseases.
The term "photoaging" refers to the changes caused to the skin by chronic, prolonged exposure to the sun. Obvious manifestations of photo-aging are brown spots, wrinkles, sagging, rough texture and dullness of the skin. UVA radiation, which has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin and create alterations in the connective tissue (collagen and elastin fibres), is the main culprit in the photo-ageing process. Intense photo-aging also predisposes to the development of skin cancers. Consequently, long-term exposure to the sun causes premature skin ageing, adding years to even young people.

Psoriasis is a common, chronic skin condition that usually occurs in genetically predisposed individuals and is characterized by epidermal hyperplasia and rapid proliferation of epidermal cells. The disease is not contagious. It is an immune-dependent disorder involving immune cells, the T-lymphocytes, which release certain cytokines, which are protein substances that play an important role in the development of the disease
Transmission of ants is by direct contact or indirectly, after using public places. The humid environment is conducive to the development of the virus and for this reason we should not walk barefoot around swimming pools, changing rooms, etc. Injury also favours the expansion of the ants.
It is the injection with a tiny needle into the middle skin (the chorion, i.e. the part of the skin where regeneration takes place) of substances necessary for its optimal function. The micro-injuries inflicted on the skin during the needle treatment further stimulate the fibroblasts that are pushed to heal/regenerate it.
If acne is treated properly, it usually leaves little to no scars. Of course, if it does eventually leave scars, there are modern treatments that can mitigate or eliminate them
