This is an idea dating back to the 17th century which was put about to try and dissuade young people from having sex before marriage. There is no scientific evidence to support it. It is true that high levels of androgens (male sex hormones) can be related to severe cases of acne but hormone levels are not affected by masturbation and sex.

Dear Lybrate User Stop masturbation if you r worried about acne on your face. Apply lemon juice on your face daily twice after washing your face for half an hour for 15 days and inform me. Drink maximum water in a day.
