This is spider mites! They are very annoying and I’m actually dealing with them myself!  
If your plant is in soil, remove all the soil and wash the roots thoroughly. Then get water and diluted alcohol.  
Put that into a spray bottle with the water and spray it thoroughly everyday until u see no more signs of them!

Do you know if neem oil works too? Also, is it contagious?

Yes it is contagious. Keep it away from other plants until the mites are gone. I had better luck with neem oil than the alcohol/water mixture
