I've been struggling with acne and I'm really curious about what causes it and how it can be treated. Also, I've heard some people say that masturbation can cause acnecan you let me know if that's true?

Acne is caused by a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and inflammation. To treat acne, you can use topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. In more severe cases, oral medications like isotretinoin may be prescribed. It is important to maintain a good skincare routine and avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation causes acne.
