Is it true in any way that masturbating makes acne worse?

becoz i have recently found that on nights that i have masturbated i have more white heads in the morning, but when i dont, its rare to find them?|||Unless you are wiping the...err residue onto your face I would say that there is no relation between them both lol|||Generally, no. But your body needs zinc to combat acne, and ejacuation is where a lot of it goes. So maybe limit the amount of masturbation you do. There%26#039;s always a period where teens have loads of zits, then it lessens as you get older.





Wash your face with mild soap and water. Avoid or limit fatty, processed foods (junk) and eat lots of fruit and veges. Drink plenty of water, and stay away from soda.|||No that%26#039;s a myth. I think you are just telling yourself that and looking more closly. Well if you somehow got oil on your face then yes you will get some break outs but it has nothing to do with you masturbating. What exactly are you doing when you masterbate? :)|||milk and other diary product make your acne worse...masturbation would not have that effect unless your wiping the produce into your skin and your body is reacting aganst it....although my wife thinks its really god for locking in moisture.|||If it does then surely you would still crack one out anway.





Not heard of any link between the two. I agree with the lady above , wash you hands and face afterwards. Make sure it%26#039;s all cleaned away|||Nooooooo, not True, it totally just a coincidence!


I had an Uncle 5yrs. older and he%26#039;d laugh and say No, kid it gets the Toxins outta your System.....(And NO he ISN%26#039;T a PEDO...lol...)|||Lies all lies! everyone knows masturbating makes you blind!;)|||this is a myth older than time, dont give it another thought..|||It makes you deaf as well and gives you arthritis in your right hand (or both)|||If that was true my face would have expoded years ago

she%26#039;s probably extremely self conscious about it. Teen acne is hard to treat and it%26#039;s not because she doesn%26#039;t wash her face.


politely suggest pro active, or leave her alone.


chances are in 10 years she%26#039;ll be a knock out babe and you%26#039;ll only wish you were worthy of breathing the same beautiful hair she does.


Don%26#039;t be so petty. Too many people in this world are callous.


Be nice.|||Just in case you don%26#039;t realize that some people are just acne-prone, no matter how many times a day they wash their face and maybe you need to stop over-analyzing people%26#039;s faces and instead over-analyze a microscopic specimen for your science project.|||yeah I%26#039;m sure she definitely knows, saying something could be really hurtful, even if you dont mean it that way. i dunno, maybe you could drop a line like %26quot;i went to this really good facialist last weekend%26quot; or something ;)|||Do you want me to come beat your *** for being so rude?

Perhaps, suggest a cream that worked for you or a friend.|||Tell her she has a pizza face. Also mention that she is extremely ugly and she smells like she never takes a bath or shower.

just because she has zit%26#039;s does not mean that she does not wash her face there are tons of reasons why she could have such bad acne|||She has most likely noticed. Pointing it out would be rude. Some people wash their face and still get acne because of hormones in their body.|||wow your ignorant


but i can understand its a turn off


maybe that%26#039;s just how her face is


instead of telling her about it


just dont look at her anymore.|||No i don%26#039;t think you should tell her because im sure nos she has acne you may hurt her by commenting about it just let her deal with it

Um, Btw, someone should tell you you are a real jerk, you know, if you dont already know...|||why would you do that are you aware when sonething is on your face i think so


she has a mirror most likely|||Just ask her if she owns a mirror, if she says NO, then tell her.


I can%26#039;t even believe you thought of this.|||wow that%26#039;s the most horrible thing ive heard.

i just stoped popping them so letting them heal themsleves will make my bacne better right? |||well i know what you mean i have the same thing and i have it on my legs also, any who, yeah just don%26#039;t pop them and eventually they will go away, just remember that when you take a shower, scrub hard on the places where you have it, except on your face, and then should go away. if you have it on your face too just use clean and clear morning and night, try not to touch your face a lot and don%26#039;t pop them or use a lot of make up or they won%26#039;t go away. :D:D:D:D good luck!|||Whatever you do, don%26#039;t pop those pimples. This spreads the bacteria, causes infection, and leads to scarring. You can only make things worse by popping a pimple.





My suggestion would be to try a product that made specifically for body acne. I did a review of what I feel is the best product for the job, which you can check out here:

Good luck!|||do not pop them using your nails because they will leave black spots. always use a towel. keep your face clear of makeup, it needs air. i just scrubbed it really well using a towel at least twice a day then use something to put some moisture back into my face. i used vaseline very lightly but noxzema will work too.|||try going to a dermatologist and getting something like Differin

And you can buy little metal blackhead removers at most drugstores (in the section with tweezers and nail clippers and stuff). Tweezerman is best. It%26#039;s pretty painless and it just pops the suckers right out.|||well i know some one who had that

Running egg yokes was my culprit.|||Try some T-Tree gel, its a natural antiseptic. also, try to keep your hands away from your face, it will help.

I have bad back acne. haha! HELPPP.?

okay i have bad back acne im not gonna lie. its so embarrasing. i cant wear anything that reveals my back. which sucksss. the doc perscribed me with pills for it which i take every night after dinner and this gel i put on the acne after my shower. ive only been on the gel and pills for a couple of days. i dnt eat greasy foods and i clean my shirts and bras. and i wash the acne in the shower, but it wont go away. it seems like everything i do just irratates it. any suggestions??? PLEASE.|||dont use soaps or perfums on the area. non perfumed shower gels are good for the skin especially to prevent spots. you can buy a cream over the counter called panoxyl you apply this to the affeced areas within a couple of weeks you should see a really big affect. x

I have REALLY bad adult acne I'm 26 and it just keeps getting worse, any suggestions?

I have tried the dermatologist, everything he prescribed didnt work. Using Proactive for about 6 weeks and nothing still! Tried Biore products and similar ones that are over the counter and nothing! Also took antibiotics and that didnt help either. Am I just going to have to be an ugly bumpy faced freak forever? HELP!|||Try an endocrinologist. Maybe your problem is hormonal. If that doesn%26#039;t work, I suggest you try a doctor specializing in homeopathic/naturalistic remedies. Good luck. I have friends and relatives who have suffered through the same problem. They got very emotional about it.





If you are a female and also have issues with irregular periods along with your acne, you may have a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: PCOS. An endocrinologist can help you diagnose (or rule out) that condition. Women with PCOS typically, but no always, experience amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea (absent or very infrequent periods), infertility (as a result of irregular periods), unexplained weight gain, hirsutism (abnormal hair growth on face, arms, groin, etc) and sometimes uncontrollable acne. PCOS can, however, be asymptomatic or be accompanied by some, rather than all, above mentioned symptoms.





If you cannot see an endocrinologist due to insurance coverage, ask your gynecologist to run some tests to check your hormone levels, specifically to rule out PCOS, including the testosterone level.





I feel confident this information will help you. I think your dermatologist didn%26#039;t search deep enough.

I use and love Lavender Oil (Lavandula officinalis)...





http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/laven鈥?/a>





It does so much to combat skin problems. Reduces redness, dries out the pimples and it smells great too. I use it straight if I have a fresh one coming up, but the directions recommend you to dilute the product. Try it, you can always use it as aroma therapy if you don%26#039;t want it on your skin :)





It can even help you rest better if you sprinkle a bit on your pillow. The options are endless. I even get a friend%26#039;s yummy organic lavender bread from her booth at the farmers market... ;)





best wishes!|||You should also ask your doctor about Retin A. I used Proactive for a year and it never worked. My doctor finally put me on Retin A and the acne cleared up within 2 months (and I had it BAD). Obviously I can%26#039;t guarantee it will work for you, but Retin A does seem to work for acne that doesn%26#039;t respond to Proactive.





Oh man, I know exactly how you feel about Biore products. I used to use them all the time and all they did was turn my skin red without getting rid of the acne. I%26#039;m sure Biore products work for most people (otherwise they would never sell) but for people like you and me, we just have to keep trying whatever we can until we find something that works.|||try birth control. It worked for me.|||Claravis is certainly the key! Im dead serious! I have tryed everything on earth! Creams, gels, perscriptions, lotions, bath soaps everything! Its such a life saver! Its a pill, first you take 1 pill for a month the the rest of the time you take two. You have to go to your dermatologist to get it but its soooo worth it. The only thing about it is that you CAN NOT get pregnant when your on the pill. If you get pregnant it could seriously affect the baby. Therefore the derm. makes sure you are either using condoms or on the pill. Every month you have to have a visit to the doctor to get the perscription, you go online to the website and take a quick quiz making sure you know the affects it could have on a baby and then go pick it up at the pharmacy. It may sound like alot to do, but it really isnt. I took it for 4 months and i havent had anything on my face since and that has been a year ago. I had xxxxx bad acne. It was deep under the skin where u couldnt get to. This medicine is sooo great. I really wish you knew how great. Theres diffrent brands too so your insurance will take care of it. Mine did! which was even better! i really hope you get this, you have no idea what it will do for you! please mesage me back if you ever get it and tell me how it helped u too!|||Try a very well recommended Dermatologist. Remember, sometimes some products take at least 6-8 weeks to fully become active.





Micro Retin-A really worked for me. I used it and the first 6 weeks it made me break out a bit more but after 6 weeks my skin seriously cleared up and looks even better than before I had acne. Micro Retin-A is a prescribed product so try to talk to a dermatologist about it. Tazorac is the same type of treatment and works well too.





Keep using Proactiv in the meantime, it may take a bit longer to fully work on your skin. Be consistant and it will work.





Also, keep your bedsheets cleaned and washed, especially your pillow covers. Don%26#039;t use fragranced detergent or softner, it might be irritating your skin.





Try mineral make up, that might make a difference as well. Good luck and hang in there!|||First, you need a really good skin care regimen - you should wash, use a toner, and moisturize. If you are not putting a toner on after you wash, your skin is exposed to the environment.





I would stay away from ProActiv. It is really harsh on your face and has some bleaching chemicals (It bleached my hairline when I used it and ruined my washcloths).





As a healthier alternative, you could try the Clear Advantage Line from Arbonne International. It has a wash, toner, and lotion. It also comes with a skin supplement vitamin that pushes the toxins out of your skin - in other words, things will be worse before they get better. Zinc in the product helps your skin heal faster and they use salicylic acid instead of benzoyl peroxide (a higher grade). Arbonne also offers a 45 day money back guarantee.





Whatever, you choose, stick with it for at least 6 weeks to determine if it is working. Other hints - keep you hands away from your face, don%26#039;t pop your acne, avoid sun exposure.......Good luck!|||It must be an allergy.

If you have really tried everything, including prescriptions then for most people the last effort is Accutane. Doctors don%26#039;t give Accutane unless NOTHING else works. It does work great from what I%26#039;ve heard, but it also has some bad side-effects.





As far as waiting until your are 22, good lucki. Acne can last for much longer! I never, ever had acne until I turned 22 years old, and it came on like a ******* train wreck. I also tried everything and after a few years I found Proactiv and it did work for me, but to this day if I go for a while without using it I break out again.





I am now 34 years old, and it just won%26#039;t stop.





See your doctor, and see if you can try Accutane, it seems to be the one medication that works for people that have tried everything else. If you have already tried it and it did not work, then hang in there.





I used to write suicide notes because of acne, so I do get it..it ******* sucks!|||have you tried changing your diet slightly? have you been to your gp? at 17 your hormones are all over the place so breakouts will be inevitable.





Keep your skin clean though, and persevere with whatever treatment your doctor gives you, keep returning to your gp if you dont see any improvement.





Also, try and relax a little ( i know its hard) and not let it get to you so much, if you are feeling stressed out about it, you probably think it looks ten times worse than it really is. If your sisters and parents had acne, chances are it is a genetic trait that runs in the family, so there is not much else you can do other than take care of yourself and follow your gp%26#039;s instructions.|||While you%26#039;re busy being a hideous, pizza-faced spaz, try learning how to spell some words.
