Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Acne is a recurrent condition and can continue for years Or decades. Masturbation however has no direct relation with acne causation Or worsening.
Treatment of inflammatory acne is with Oral antibiotics e.g either Azithromycin Or Doxycycline Or Minocycline. The duration of treatment with oral antibiotics depends on the severity of acne.
Topical treatment is an important part in the overall treatment of acne and consist of topical antibacterials like clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, nadifloxacin etc. They are antibacterial and antiinflammatory.
Besides oral and topical antibacterials, Topical Retinoids like Adapalene or Tretinoin are usually part of the treatment of acne. Toppical Retinoids are antinflammatory and comedolytic.
On account of the comedolytic activity of topical retinoids they are also useful for maintaining the improvement and useful as a maintenance treatment.
Therefore, Once significant improvement has been achieved, topical retinoids may still be continued as part of the maintenance regime and prevent a relapse.
