Literature indicates though a rise in hormones w/masturbation it is insufficient to cause acne. https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sex/does-masturbation-cause-acne#how-to-treat-and-prevent-acne Each person is different though . Would follow up with derm and consider/discuss topical/ oral med post masturbation, see if it makes a difference..
