Hello,
Masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-esteem. It is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. However if done in excess or with force, it can result in trauma to the penis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and regards.

Masturbating does not cause acne or any other health problem. It is a natural way of experiencing pleasure on your own or with a partner.
Acne occurs when the patient has raised levels of androgens (hormones such as testosterone). Androgens stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin. Bacteria on the skin feed off this excess oil (sebum) blocking the pores and resulting in spots. The standard treatment for acne is a course of oral antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and a topical retinoid like Differin. Get a prescription for these from your doctor.
Elevated androgen levels are common during adolesence and early 20s. They would exist whether or not you masturbated.
Best Wishes, Eloise.
