A member asked:
Can i use the following topical: prosacea rosacea treatment gel, if i have a sulfa/bactrim allergy? sulfer is an ingerdient listed on the box, is that the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Avoid topical sulfa also. There are other creams or lotions not containing sulfa yet at least as effective. However sulfate or sulfite are not the same and needs not be avoided.
