Hi there!

Acne are uncommon over the penis and the spots are more likely to be due to other causes such as cysts, warts, fordyce spots etc. Masturbation is unlikely to cause stretching of skin which is normally loose when the penis is flaccid and this should not be anything to worry about. However you may consider getting the ‘acne-like’ lesions evaluated by a primary care physician or a urologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management, if required.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
