Does taking progesterone continuously have no effect?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
I haven't had my period for over two months, and after testing, there was no pregnancy. Since my period stopped, I've been constantly breaking out in acne on my face. A few days ago, I had an ultrasound, and the doctor said there were no abnormalities, just that my uterine wall was slightly thickened. They started me on progesterone injections. Originally, I was supposed to get four injections, but after three days in a row, I had other commitments on the fourth day and missed it. On the fifth day, I got another injection, and today is the sixth day. I would like to ask:
1. Will there be any problems if I didn't get the injections consecutively?
2. How many days after the injections can I expect my period to return?
3. What could be the reason for the acne on my face? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is how it can be treated. Generally, it takes about a week for menstruation to return. Acne on the face is a problem related to the endocrine system. Pay attention to facial hygiene and eat less spicy and stimulating food. The occurrence of menstrual disorders not only affects the patient's body but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is also important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
