    Wheb I was 18 I used to stress about acne aswell. I think you're doing great stopping PMO, the resukts will come in no time. And with time you will do what is good for your health and body so that the skin will clear up. I believe part of acne is the hormones but it is also partly how you take care of your body(diet) and skin. Be patient my friend, you're doing great!

    that gives me hope. im about 2 weeks in and if anything my skin has gotten significantly worse. I think lack of sleep and other stresses are to blame. Hoping it clears up by the 70 day mark like yours

    hey bro I had severe doubts about this whole thing. do NOT be confused by the media which says masturbation acne is a myth!!
    if you suspect a problem then it likely IS the problem.
    trust the process. think about it. it is unnatural to get acne. you get it because you are totally throwing your hormones out of balance. it will take months (not weeks) to rebalance so hopefully that gives you hope.

    your skin progress will have many ups and Downs. at times it will seem worse but if you ride it out eventually it will get better

    I haven't noticed if there has ever been a correlation between acne randomly appearing on my skin and my relapses (prior to this streak I'd always fall every 5-7 days or so), though I can attest that my skin has become brighter and so have my eyes, besides of that people have started telling me that I look younger or at least my age (currently 24 but there was a time they'd think I was 30 or so).

    5-7 days?? That is not nearly enough time to see results my friend. Yes you may see minor tiny reflections of what is to come if you abstain. But It takes 5-7 weeks at least. Even that was far too short for me to see real results

    Really glad to hear your acne is clearing! I’ve suffered from fairly severe acne for around 4-5 years now, and I’m 17.

    Although the acne itself isn’t too bad at the moment, the bigger problem is the scarring. My face looks entirely covered in acne but actually you’ll find most of my face is smooth skin. The so called ‘acne’ is actually just scars from where I’ve picked at it over the years.

    Basically my skin is ruined and I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it because it’s scars, not acne.

    differin gel clears scars well. (won't magically work, but it helps a lot)
    may need prescription depending on where you are

    an alternative would be Alpha acids (15%+), but seek professional advice.

    Hey Goodnice! :) In my case I'd say that I noticed that PMO is causing acne and the similar skin problems, but first of all, even though I'm not a doctor, I'm totally convinced that your acne "problem" is something absolutely normal for your age and it doesn't has to deal too much with PMO especially if you abstain from it. You probably noticed that most of guys that are your age have the same "problem". I had it too when I was your age. ^^ As some members already advised you, try to find some cream... The thing that helped me very much is Sodium Bicarbonate which you can buy in the super market. When you are washing your face, while it's still wet, take a little bit of the sodium bicarbonate and rub it in your face and then just wash it. Don't do is more than once a day.. I find it very helpful. :)
    Good luck. :)

    Appreciate your intent but you are wrong. most people (98%)I see at college have clear skin.
    And no cream is necessary. my skin is getting better day by day. It has everything to do with PMO. my skin 4 months ago when I was PMOing was really bad and now it’s way better.. almost clear. Coincidence? By no means. Preserving your semen gives you a bright and healthy face. I induced this terrible acne disease on myself and I’m confident it could have been avoided (ok I might have had a little for a year or two). but my skin was really really bad. I look in the mirror and wow I look radically different, much healthier

    In my case I had periods which I call "a wave" of acne and I'm pretty convinced it had to deal with the puberty. However, I hope that you're right about your case and in the case that acne come back, I advise you to try the thing with Sodium Bicarbonate, as it helped me a lot.
    Good luck. :)

    Thanks bro good points. I agree. even though my skin wasn’t as good as I would like at day 55, I still seemed to be more attractive to girls. Keep it up. remember: the pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret. Don’t have any impure thoughts, not even one.
    You have to guard your mind vigilantly, and make it a fortress. The number one tip is DONT PEEK. AT ALL. if you can do that, you can go all the way. Around 60 days it got really tough for me. I had terrible withdrawal symptoms. If you get those, stay strong and brave it out. DO NOT think that feeling like crap means nofap isn’t working. it just means your body is adjusting. in the end there is light at the tunnel. I feel so confident now. Just remember that when the time comes. good job on 55 days. now keep going
     
  19. One thing that has never been discussed is the way you masturbate. If you masturbate with your hand, then the possibility of getting pimples is less. If you masturbate by humping a bed or something, then the possibility is extremely high.Because there is a lot of inner body heat generated in this method.

    Oral antibiotics are typically useful but the downside is that they aren't very good for your whole body. I've used an antibiotic gel called clindamycin. It has worked super well. It kills bacteria on the face, which is what causes acne. Of course, there can be hormonal causes and whatnot, but in the end, it is always bacteria that creates the inflammation. Acne is an infection, so it has to be treated like one. I had horrid cysts all over the place and they are gone now. I have scars and hyperpigmentation but that is not the fault of the medication, that's just because I had a ton.
