I'm thirteen and I just recentley have started masterbating more. I am worried that it is the cause of my acne [because I've never had a problem with it untill now] and I've done it every day for the past five days, and thats when it all started. [might I add the first time I ever acculey came was the first of the five days, but it wasn't the first time I had ever masterbated] &I do wash my face before and after.
So my question is, is it just a myth? Or does masterbation really cause acne?

No, masturbation doesn't cause acne. Hormones during puberty have been linked to cause some acne. Those hormones also increase your sexual desire, so if you feel an increased need for sexual stimulation, it could be that.
You can wash your face with soap and water, but using something with an acid pH is more effective with pimples. This includes water with an acid pH, but that is very difficult to get ahold of. Other things are acne pads soaked in acidic liquids.
Just to let you know, during a woman's cycle, hormones fluctuate. You may find that you break out more during certain parts of your cycle, such as around your period, than around other times. If this is your case, it'll probably go away or get better after you get older.
