Hi Conner,

This medication contains Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim, it is an antibiotic that's used to treat many types of infections.

Based on my research, Bactrim is also used to treat Acne. I didn't see "itching" listed as a side effect, so you could be having an allergic reaction. I would definitely speak with your doctor about lowering your dose or trying something different.
