Thanks for your question. Let me try and address both topics that you are concerned with. Masturbation is a very normal and common practice. Some people do it more frequently than others. I would only be concerned about the frequency of masturbation if it were interfering with your daily activities. What i mean by that is if you are not going to school, work, or participating in social activities because you feel the need to masturbate, then i would be a bit concerned and suggest that you talk with some kind of counselor of therapist. If your masturbation frequency is not interfering with your daily life, I would not worry about it. There is no relationship between acne and masturbation. If you are worried about your acne, see a dermatologist to get information on treating this condition. Good luck! Dr. Mona
