Will Epiduo gel cause skinburn?

Hi doctor,

I am using a treatment for my acne called Epiduo, which was prescribed by my doctor. My skin has very bad hyperpigmentation and acne. I have been using the treatment for three days, and on the second day, it itched and burnt a little. I thought it was just working, and all was fine. But on the third night, I put it on, and my skin began to burn terribly, which was unbearable. It blocked me from breathing, and I nearly passed out. I did not wash it off because I found when I did that on the second night, it made it worse, and when I woke up today, I had terrible chemical burns all over my face.

My hyperpigmentation and acne had become worse, and it is causing immense pain and discomfort. It really does look terrible. It is similar to the worst kind of sunburn ever, and the skin is plastered and dry, too. I do not know what I can do. Is there some sort of treatment I can do in a cosmetic skin clinic? Or something I can use on the burns, the acne, and the hyperpigmentation? Please help.

Thank you.
