What Is Erythema Multiforme?
6. Transmission of Erythema Multiforme
The herpes simplex virus is contagious, as are many other infections that potentially lead to the development of erythema multiforme. The condition itself, however, is not contagious whether caused by medications or infection.
People who have erythema multiforme cannot spread the rash to other people in any way. Those who do not have the disorder do not need to be concerned about touching a person with it or being in close proximity to that person.
