Can sulfamethox-tmp ds 800-tabs cure follicle infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: As bactrim (sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim) will cover most bacteria that contributes to skin and soft tissue infections including folliculitis. It won't necessarily prevent this type of infection from recurring though.
