Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Whiteheads are basically a type of acne.
Any cosmetics or medication can block the pores and cause acne.
Especially sunscreen are notorious to cause acne because they are oil based most of the time. Try using water-based sunscreen like Sunmate sunscreen gel-lotion.
Also on daily basis use a retinoid like tretinoin in lower percentage like 0.12 or 0.25 at night time over full face to prevent new eruption of acne and for healthy glowing skin.
Use a gentle cleanser for oily skin like cetaphil OS on regular basis.
Drink plenty of water and take fresh fruits and vegetable in your diet.
Also note there is no connection between masturbation and acne so dont worry.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
