Does masturbation cause acne

Not Medical Advice: Masturbation and intercourse have not been clinically proven to be causes of acne.

Acne is caused by the overproduction of oil (sebum), the irregular shedding of dead skin resulting in hair follicle irritation of the skin, and the buildup of bacteria.
