Answer

No, you won't get pimples from masterbating. Really, there isn't anything wrong with masterbating, but it's something that is kept private. And it isn't bad for you.

Answer

Pimples or acne have no relationship to masturbation! Blackheads are due to dirt that has accumulated in the pores of your skin. Acne or pimples are due to hormonal changes, usually around puberty, but also seen in body builders who use anabolic steroids, and some women using hormonal froms of birth control.

Testosterone is the primary culprit. Even women have testosterone in their body. Many treatments are available now for acne. Washing your face with an antibacterial soap will help some because it kills the germs on your skin which can aggrevate the acne by causing infection in the open wounds left by the pimples (Dial is a good choice). Antibiotics from your doctor also help, (Tetracycline or Doxcycline) are the most commonly used. They can cause upset stomach, yeast infections, and decreased effectiveness of oral contraceptives, they can also cause increased sensitivity to the sun while taking them, and other serious side-effects. Topical antibiotics (Erythromycin & Cleocin) also help kill the germs on your skin without the systemic side-effects of oral antibiotics. Antibiotics are frequently used first to treat mild acne.

Women can notice remarkable improvement in acne by starting or switching to an oral contraceptive called Ortho TriCyclen. The hormones in this birth control pill can reverse the acne problems seen with some other birth control pills, and/or Depo Provera, or can even be used to treat mild acne in women who are not sexually active. More serious acne can also be treated using either a combination of medications or meds such as Accutane which actually dry the skin. It has serious side-effects such as dry eyes, dry mouth, dry vagina, and serious birth defects if you get pregnant while on Accutane. Many other acne medications are available from your Family Doctor or your Dermatologist.

Diet, such as eating fried food or chocolate have no effect on your complexion.
