Hi,

Based on the history your daughter seems to have allergic reactions apparently caused by the antibiotic Bactrim.

She needs to switch over to an alternate effective but a safer antibiotic like clindamycin for the treatment of infection associated with acne.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Mohammad Taher Ali
