My lil' sis who is 16 just got prescribed Bactrim about three weeks ago. She had pretty severe acne, and her skin is really, truly, clearing up nicely!!!! Worked pretty quick, and she's getting better every day. I hope you have the same results :) Good luck.
 
I'm on it right now and it seems to work really well, but every three weeks or so I have a pretty bad flare up, but that's just what I've noticed. After that it typically improves better than it was before. I am trying to change my diet and get some vitamins into it. I really do not get anything that is good for me in my daily diet. I really need to evaluate the role my diet plays into my skin health. Good luck to you!
 
I've been on it for a day or two. My derm says its the strongest pill before Accutane.
 
yeah that sounRAB about right. I don't think I'll ever go on Accutane. If it comes to the point where I'm not clear in 3 months from now I might consider it, but really I think I'll try to take a multi-vitamin and try to take in as much Vitamin A as possible. Doesn't Accutane deliver something like 300,000 IU's of Vitamin A or something? I can't imagine what that can do to a person over a long period of time. I have heard good things overall about it though, but really find a cure for acne already. It can't be that difficult can it lol. Then again there is not enough money in selling the cure to anything really. Particularly if it isn't life threatening that is.
 
Some people have terribly scarring acne so don't say Accutane is not good. There are some risks, but if your acne is scarring up your face what alternative do you really have?
