"this medication did work for me but i was on it for about 3-4 months before my skin actually cleared up. don&#039;t give up hope if you see no change in the first couple of months. i went from having moderate, hormonal acne mostly around the chin and jaw (but also would appear on other parts of the face) to having a perfectly clear and glowing complexion. i am also taking the ocp (and had been on it prior to starting on bactrim)"
