Are you allergic other antibiotics such as tetracycline antibiotic? Bactrim is not commonly used for treating acne because the side effects which can be serious with long term use. Your acne has improved, not bad at all if just noticeable. Whatever, you can try a stronger tretinoin formula or switch to adapalene 2.5% as a trial.
