Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
I understand that you are worried whether masturbation could be the cause you skin problems like acne and pimples. Masturbation is considered as a normal sexual behaviou and it does not result in any health problems, including skin problems.
Regarding your symptom of acne and pimples this can be caused due to hormonal changes. So, if you are distressed by this problem, I would advise you to see a doctor for a detailed evaluation and further treatment.
Best wishes.
Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar
