A member asked:
I was prescribed bactrim (10 days) for an infected sebaceous cyst. i am on day 6 and no improvement. should i be switched to a different antibiotic?

Yes: This time see if they can take a skin or wound culture to determine what best to treat your infection with. Or if the cyst needs to be surgically drained. You need to see a surgeon, or at minimun a health practioner who has training in surgery!
