A member asked:
My arm is sore/ when i move it around. doctor said it was folliculitis and have taken bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) for 4 days and using bactroban ointment. any suggestion?

See details: Are you saying the soreness is due to a skin rash? If that is the case and the current meds are not helping then see a dermatologist. One cannot comment on a rash without being able to visualize it.
