"it&#039;s the silver bullet! well, for me at least. i can only add my highest recommendation for bactrim to treat my cystic acne, the kind that produces cysts around 2-3 cm in diameter all over my body and face. i&#039;ve been on accutane and every other antibiotic there is, but the bactrim has saved me. it is hard on your digestive system, and i still haven&#039;t come up with a good solution for that yet, but i can certainly live with it if it means no more painful cysts which need to be cut out and operated on medically (no fun at all). 

i&#039;ve always had cystic acne, but the bactrim seems to kill the bacteria that produce the cysts, so as long as it keeps working i&#039;m happy."
