"okay, so i had suffered with acne ever since i hit puberty.. i was a &#039;pizza&#039; face, so to say.. i had tried multiple things and thousands of dollars to try and get rid of my acne... eventually though, i found out i had pcos, so yay! hormonal acne. ._. 

anywaaays, my dermatologist prescribed me bactrim along with spironolactone. within a week, i had a completely clear face. no acne at all... but unfortunately, after 3-4 week i found out i i was apart of the unlucky few who ended up being allergic to it. so sad.  if i could ever take it again, i would in a heart beat. but it has been about 6 months since i&#039;ve been on bactrim and i am still pretty much clear with very few breakouts."
