Does Masturbation Cause Acne And How Can Acne Be Treated ?

dear sir, im a male, 32, 5.7in, 70kgs. i have the problem of acne on my face ... i went to two doctors just in two days time. one dermet says it is chronic folliculitis and the other says it is due to hormones.... first doc gave amoxicilin and and tricef xl to be used for 10 days each. the second gave doxy and zincovit and two creams.... i never masturbated till the age of 23. i mean for the first time i did it at the age of 23. and sicne then doing... though several times tried to stop for ever... but later understood that it is a natural mechanism to release tension... now its more than 30 days i never did it nd never got a wet dream either. acne is still on face. i started medication just 5 days ago. im single and never had sex. only have been doing the natural act for a few years sometimes at regular rates and some times at irregular intervals....
