No: It may be the other way around. A relative increase in your testosterone level may cause acne outbreaks to worsen while increasing your libido and urge to masturbate. However that is only a postulate and not proven.

No: It would be difficult to find a control group. Perspiring may make it more visible after you enjoy your body, but it's not the cause. It's actually moot since all acne is manageable nowadays with scientific Rx. If topical benzoyl peroxide has not cleared you in two weeks get with your physician who can add something that will.

Cleveland Clinic: "Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of your sexual development. It involves the use of your hands, fingers, sex toys or other objects to stimulate your genitals and other sensitive areas of your body for sexual pleasure. Masturbation has many documented health benefits. It may reduce stress, improve sleep and ease pain, among other benefits." For acne see a Dermatologist.
