Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic Masturbation has no effect whatsoever on acne and it is myth that masturbation causes more acne. Acne is anyways quite common at your age and it is a result of an interplay of factors like hormones, sticky epidermal cells leading to comedogenesis, a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes and inflammation. I usually suggest topical treatment like either clindamycin gel or benzoyl peroxide gel for active acne on face along with a topical retinoid like adapalene gel once daily at night to the whole affected area. Adapalene is comedolytic and therefore would prevent new acne apart from resolving existing ones. Clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide are antibacterial and are useful for inflammatory acne. Oral antibiotics may also be started depending on the severity of acne and if acne is inflammatory i.e red, painful Or pus filled. I suggest you to visit a dermatologist in your region for the needful. Your dermatologist will assess the severity of your acne and advice accordingly. Treatment is long term; patience and compliance is the key to good results. Regards
