3 days back I consulted a doctor for curing pimples on my face. She gave me a cream named epiduo (adapalene/benzoyl peroxide). Now I feel some irritation like burning and toughness on the face while applying the cream. Can I continue the usage or not?

Yes the burning is normal, but you should take a gap for a few day, let the irritation lessen then use less often and less duration, best to see your dermat again, he/she will be the best guide.
