. Whether habitual masturbation would increase or decrease acne in individuals is still a debate and there are no confirmed facts till now to show that excessive masturbation can cause acne or not-------------studies confirm that there is slight increase in testosterone levels immediately after masturbation for few minutes. Leading to high androgen levels in such males which in turn tend to experience more severe acne symptoms. ------------------so unconfirmed but debatateful studies suggests that frequent masturbation causes pimples and doesn't control pimples-----------
