Brief Answer:
Acutret is not responsible for ammenorhia.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
Acutret is an dermatological ointment. I would say with confidence that it is a coincidence that your period has been "missed". This is certainly not because of this skin ointment. I would politely ask you if you have had any unprotected sex, or sex, in which you thought that the contraceptive should have been effective, but failed (there is no such thing as a contraceptive with a 100% success rate).
I would suggest that you consider these matters. Other than an accidental conception, there are quite a few causes of "stopping" of the periods as you put it that have nothing to do with sex or pregnancy. The first thing that occurs to me is if you are on some medications that you have not considered important enough to mention. You might also remember that even high levels of stress are known to cause ammenorhia or stoppage of periods.
Since, the causes of ammenorhia are so diverse and many, and out of scope of exploration in this answer to you, I would kindly like you to provide me with more information that could help me decide on how best to manage your case.
You might want to visit a gynecologist, however, remember, there is really nothing to worry, and you can continue applying acutret for pimples.
If you don't find acutret effective enough, I suggest that you try benzoyl peroxide cream. You must use this with clindamycin gel and wash your face with water (rinsing). You must avoid high oil foods and stress.
That is the way to stop pimples.
Please write back if you have some doubts or questions.
