Short little question about acne!!!

Ok.. Does anybody know if acne is somehow familiar with "male masturbation" its pretty funny to hear when my buddies get together, and if somebody has a pretty noticeable pimple then everybody starts saying "somebody is using that hand too much" you know, and stuff like this...  So... does masturbating makes acne to appear?????

Absolutely not. Masturbation is a natural way of experiencing pleasure alone or with a partner.
Androgens in the body stimulate the sebaceous glands and the hairs which grow from them. If you have high levels of androgen (for example during puberty) or are particularly sensitive to their effects your sebaceous glands may produce too much oil. The glands then get blocked with excess oil and bacteria which feeds off it, leading to infected acne spots.
There are loads of preparations available from the drug store with anti-bacterial or skin-drying properties. If these are of limited benefit see your doctor for a stronger topical preparation such as Duac gel (clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide) or a course of oral antibiotics such as Lymecycline.
Eloise.
