I'm worried because whenever I masturbate, I start getting acne on my face. Is there any treatment or medicine that can help with acne so I don't have to stop enjoying my sex life? I'm thinking of quitting masturbation for now, but I'm hoping there's another solution. What can I do?

Acne can be managed with topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. You can also consider using oral medications like doxycycline or isotretinoin under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene, avoiding oily skincare products, and following a healthy diet can also help improve acne. Remember to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
