Acne Due To Masturbation

Masturbation is surrounded by a lot of misconception and misinformation which needs to be dealt with, one of the most popular ones is if masturbation causes acne. 

Acne can happen for a lot of reasons and masturbation is not one of them. This misconception of mixing masturbation with acne happened during puberty when both are at their peak. During puberty, our body produces more testosterone along with other hormones and sebum. Sebum production makes your skin oily, another major reason for acne overdose. 

Masturbation can not control your sebum production and other hormonal activities that may be a reason behind acne. So, masturbation can not be linked to acne in any aspect. 

Acne can take a toll on your self-confidence and make you anxious as it deals with body image issues, we are here to help you so need to worry. Let us look at the real reason as to why you may face acne. 

What is the cause of acne? 

During puberty, our body is going through a lot of changes which can be pretty noticeable, not only this but our body also releases a number of hormones. 

Hormonal imbalance can be one of the major reasons for acne, during this hormonal battle our body is also secreting sebum which clogs our pores making it impossible for our skin to breathe. 

Clogged pores and excess sebum production can be a major reason for acne, a lot of times our dead cells and dead skin can not surface out which causes acne. Hormonal acne basically occurs because of an imbalance, however, acne can also be caused due to bacterial infection. When bacteria might be living in your pores and treating acne.
