Bactrim for acne?

My dermatologist prescribed Bactrim for moderate acne. I had taken Bactrim a year and a half ago for a couple of months and Bactrim cleared up my skin and it stayed that way until recently. So I'm back on the Bactrim for another 2 months, but I found out today from researching that prolonged usage of it can cause serious health problems (kidney, liver etc). Is 2 months considered prolonged? I'm taking Bactrim DS 160 mg 2x day.

I wouldn't worry about it. I was on Bactrim for well over a year and never had a problem. The main concern with using that drug is allergic reaction. But since you've been on it before and have responded well, there shouldn't be a problem.
