Hello Yes it can. There are many causes of acne and pimple breakouts. One of the key factors is actually often ignored - an imbalance within the endocrine system that is caused by excessive masturbation or ejaculation. Long-term abusive masturbation results in serious acne through a variety of pathological means, such as an imbalance of androgen hormones that results in over production of sebum by the sebaceous glands, a lack of the inhibition of acne bacteria growth, and abnormal keratinization and comedone formation.
