P

R

S
Scabies
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome
T

Tinea versicolor

scabies, cold sores, (all versions of herpes), impetigo, chicken pox, measles, (all varieties), fifth disease (slap cheek), lice, head lice, athletes foot, other nail funguses, anthrax, necrotizing faciitis, leprosy, ringworm, shingles

I think the majority of the conditions that are bacterial based are caught through direct contact. But the viral ones, measles, chicken pox, fifth disease, are probably through droplet from respiratory tract. Head lice jumps, you have to be in close proximity for it to get to you. Shingles you had to have had chicken pox before.

that is all I got for you, good luck

Scabies- contact
Impetigo- staph infection and contact with lesions
Herpes Zoster- history of chicken pox
Warts of hands, feet and genitals- HPV
Boils/ furuncle- Staph infection, contact


Here are a few off the top of my head. I'll add more as I think of them. Good Luck

herpes simplex, psoriasis, carbuncle

Impetigo, MRSA are the worst I have dealt with.
