Acne from fapping is such a strange phenomenon many struggle from

[Roamer]

I get cystic acne on my back, chest and face when I "pmo".
Apparently it causes prolactin levels to increase which causes acne and other negative symptoms.
I've tried to find studies on it online and I've asked in nofap forums etc but the only place I've found answers to this phenomena is this forum.
Essentially I've made this post for high iq users to give extra advice on how to stop/minimize it and what exactly causes it since it might not just only be high prolactin levels.
Your help would be much appreciated as this topic has gone under the radar a lot.

Some questions id like to be answered.
Does it cause hair loss?
Why does it cause acne and how to stop it?
Does it make your skin look lifeless and why?
Does it inhibit t levels and why?
Does it put you in unstable mood levels because of dopamine levels?

its crazy man.
ive heard using accutane can shrink ur nose.
infact ive seen it many times on "tik tok glow ups"
apparatnly it kills off all the sebum production in your nose making it smaller.

Are you saying that No Fap gives you acne, or that No Fap reduces your acne?

I 100% agree with that. Before tret i had oily nose regardless if i fapped or not, now i only get super oily when masturbating. I think its due to prolactin/dopamine overload which leads to more sebum oil production.

To put it this way. The situation between non oily nose and oily nose for me is literally a rhinoplasty. When my nose is oily i get so insecure about it i wanted a rhinoplasty. Forgot to mention, i also get acne around my nose area when i PMO

Your zinc levels will drop after you cum, because your body uses the zinc in your blood to produce more sperm, and zinc deficiency(caused by ejaculating too much) leads to acne

Zinc for acne: Uses, types, and benefits

Zinc may help prevent and treat acne breakouts. A range of oral and topical medications for acne use zinc. Increasing dietary intake of zinc may also help.

fapping itself gives me acne and nofap reduces it significantly

nvm them, i was gonna tell you to not use accutane, because it may stunt your height growth

if you don't have a severe acne like this

Spoiler

a good option is to frequently wash your face with water(only water, don't use soap for this), keep washing your face each 2~3 yours and you'll notice the difference

diet change will help too. stuff with lots of antioxidants basically.
