Stop using epiduo gel. When used in large quantities for kept for a long time, it can cause bruning and stinging. Use a good moisturizer over the face 3- 4 times a day. Use a gentle facial cleanser. Follow sun protection. And do not be depressed your skin will turn back to normal. Do follow up with your dermatologist.

Hi lybrate-user. Do not get distressed about your present condition. Always remember stress makes things worse than what it already is. Isotretinoin makes your skin sensitive to hyperpigmentation and tanning not just with direct sun exposure but also to the sunlight inside your home and to the gadget lights (very powerful) and tv light. So remember to always wear your sunscreen even at home and to re apply it after 4-6 hrs. Pls do not try any self/home remedies for this pigmentation you are experiencing right now without consulting your dermatologist who will give you a safe reversal.
