2 months no period pimples weight gain

2 months without a period, it started again a week ago. Now pimples - acne are also appearing. Menstruation has been very irregular for a good year. Since then, I have also gained weight (10 kg). I moved from Brazil to Austria and have been living in Switzerland for 2 months now. I eat normally. I have also tried a diet. Nothing has worked. The acne is so bad, it's really painful. It would be nice if someone could give me a tip. I wanted to see a doctor in Brazil on vacation in 2 months. Thank you.

Dear inquirer,

For a truly good consultation, there are still a lot of details missing here (age, taking the pill? etc). Additionally, at least in Germany, it would not be possible to try the therapy suggested below for acne, as all medications here are prescription-only. Perhaps it is different in Austria or Switzerland.
My advice:
For a purely symptomatic treatment of acne, it has proven effective to address the issue both with tablets from the inside, as well as with ointment and gel from the outside. A skin-friendly antibiotic is used, hence a prescription is necessary. For example, medications can be used both as tablets and as a skin gel (e.g. Skid, Skinoderm, Duac, Eryaknen).
Regarding the causes of menstrual irregularities, no statement can be made. A gynecological examination is the basis for further recommendations. Also, a contraceptive pill that one does not tolerate could be the cause of acne.
With many greetings, Dr. r. Berg
