Epiduo if used inappropriately can cause skin irritation leading to redness. Using clear gel unnecesarily for redness can worsen it also increase resistance of organism. I would recommend you to consult a certified dermatologist. Meanwhile you can soothen the area with ice pack or can give a try to calamine lotion. Donot try any home remedies and worsen the irritation.
Be gentle and love your skin it will love you back.

Different kind of pigmentation need different medicines n modality of treatment. Some deficiencies can also worsen pigmentation. Without seeing photos n detailed history it's difficult to tell. However, sun protection is important. Do use a good sunscreen. Also I hope you have started epiduo after proper doctor consultation. Do not use epiduo without knowing the proper way to use it. As it can cause dryness n irritate the skin if used wrongly. N irritated skin will get further pigmented faster.

Epiduo can cause dryness as its side effect. You can either decrease the time of application of epiduo like washing after 4 hours of application or apply it alternate day. If there is still dryness apply cetaphil moisturizing cream
