How Can Recurrent Infection On The Back Be Treated?

I have a recurring infection in my back, right side. Bactrim is the only med. that seems to do anything. It only suppresses the infection. Have to stay on Bactrim all the time. Two years now. As soon as I stop taking it the infection blows up. Have gone septic twice.

Hello. Thank you for your question.
Well, I got that you've had some kind of recurring infection in your back, and you are using bactrim (sulphur containing antibiotic) for that. It'd be more convenient to answer your question if you describe your infection in a more detailed description, such as whether there are vesicles, any itchiness, macules (color changes), ulceration, bleeding, increased in size etc.. I would also like to know about your personal identification, such as age, sex, race, and residence region, because some infections or diseases have popularity according to the regions the patient lives. Do you have any associated medical conditions, such as diabetes etc., and do you have any long-term taking medicines. And... bactrim only for recurrent infection, not knowing the exact underlying cause, won't be the best medication. I want you to describe about the facts I just mentioned above, for more complete information. Thank you.
Have a nice day!
