Poll about the Masturbation-Acne connection

There are so many threads, that claim, masturbation causes acne. Yeah the two things are related somehow. But masturbation-abstinence also causes acne on me, and excessive causes too. So guys, who believe in this thing, just try to do it 1-2 times a week. It's a good balance, and it works awesome! Write your experiences about it!

I've found the cause of my acne

Hi guys.

This was the worst year in my life. After accutane (4 years ago), my acne gradually came back. I tried so many things this year, that I can't count. I tried to avoid from gluten, dairy, soy... I tried to abstain from masturbation because I heard that it aggravates acne. These things helped me a little bit, but I saw just a small improvement. So, after this year and so many emotional sufferings I found the cause of my acne. I hope, that it's my last topic here.
So, what have I done?

I don't drink from plastic bottles. Yeah... I saw a week ago, that if I don't drink so much, I don't break out so horribly. "It's the water?! No... It can't be..." It wasn't the water. It was water from plastic bottle. Without it, I cleared up to 80% in 3 days and my red marks are fading away incredibly fast.

I drink a day long from bottles, and then I broke out. So I googled the words on the web: "plastic bottle cause acne" and I've found many sites, claim that a material dissolves from the plastic into the water: bisphenol-a or something. This stuff makes a disorder in the endocrine system, because it mimics estrogen. Wikipedia has a coll article about this. I know, Wiki is not always the best source, but you can see the source at the bottom. It's not fake.
And by the way: Google it!

And something more: this year I had three acne-free weeks (separated from each other) and I can remember that on these weeks, I didn't drink bottled water, so it's not a placebo, and it's not a simple healing-period.

If you don't believe me, give this a week-long try. Good luck everybody!

naturally blackhead-free?

Hi guys, I have many blackheads/invisible comedones on my nose and on my forehead and I want to get rid of them, but every shops will be closed for 4 days and then I must travel away. So I should find out, how could I get rid of my blackheads naturally in ca. 4 days I heard that yougurt on the face can help or something.
I need any ideas. Thanks.

The cause is gluten- or yeast sensitivity!

Hi everybody,

I'm a 20 years old guy and I was on Roaccutan five years ago. Before Roa, my whole face, my shoulders, my back, and my chest was full of pimples. With Roa, I became 100% clear but this year, since february I've got more and more pimples so my face, back and chest have looked constantly pretty bad. (red pimples, wounds and hyperpigmentation).
I tried to trace the cause, so I tried to eat nothing but maize, bacon, peanut and apples. My face cleared up 90% in one week!! I noticed, that dairy and bread broke me out very bad, so I looked after some interesting writings on the internet about the connection between gluten-intolerance and acne and it makes sense. I ate some potato chips, which says on the packaging, that it contains Gluten. On the following day I broke out... for three days. After these three days, my pimples disappeared.
Sausage breakes me out a little bit, though it doesnt contains Gluten (by the ingredientlist on the packaging), so I was confused and I looked after some another common components in bread and sausage. I found the yeast, because there's yeast in the bread and milk-yeast in the sausage I ate.
The day before yesterday, my face was relatively clear, so I drank one glass of wine (contains yeast) and ate four loaves of wheat flour (gluten). Such a huge surprise: yesterday I broke out...
And the fact that there's both yeast and gluten in bread, makes this situation more complicated.
I found some infos about yeast allergy on the internet, but not so much and im curious, which component cause my acne: gluten or yeast? (beside dairy) Omg... this could be a detective-story...
Just one more thing; this year i experienced constant colds/chills, larger discolorations around old pimples (and they don't want to disappear), headaches, a little bit oily skin but with a dry-feeling, constant fatigue, visual blurring (at nights) and a very enjoyable two-weeks long indigestion. Maybe they can also indicate some kind of a food-allergy.
Thanks for all future ideas and suggestions.
And sorry for my bad english, im "just" a european
