A member asked:

I have pimples on my face . is that the affect of daily masturbation?

No: Your desire to masturbate is the product of hormones that make the acne more likely as well.

Dr Rao and another doctor agreed

It is not: You owe it to yourself to manage your acne. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated has not cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician who can add something that will.
