Hi,
You seem to have drug induced rash called fixed drug eruption. It is caused by sulfa in your case. Bactrim is sulfonamide. The FDE is common side effect caused by sulfa. So, you should avoid all drugs containing sulfa.
Whenever, you have infection..you may take macrolides like azithromycin.
You consult the dermatologist for the perfect treatment.
Thanks..
