Does Bactrim Intake Cause Side Effects Like Dark Rings Around Gums?
Hello, I have been taking bactrim for 3months now, for acne. My skin has cleared up however, I have noticed dark rings forming around my gums on my teeth. This is a progressive development. I am watching it spread to the front.. Why is this happening?

hi
Its nothing to do with your bactrim its just a physiologic process of melanin pigmentation which is seen around your teeth and its very normal.
There are treatments like depigmentation esthetic treatment which will solve your prob but its all temprory and it comes back so u need to get it again treated depends upon patient to patients though.
