Does Bactrim For Acne Affect The Healing Process Of A Tattoo?
Question regarding taking bactrim for acne while letting a fresh tattoo heal...I ve been on bactrim for a few months and recently had a tattoo done. I understand different antibiotics attack different bacterias- my question is is it safe to continue taking bactrim while the tattoo heals or will it prolong/negatively affect the healing process? Thank you!

Hi,
You can continue taking Bactrim.
there is no harm taking it, on the contrary it will work to prevent infection at the site of tatoo prick.
Ok and take care.
