Can i put epiduo in whole face and back where i have eczema and on stretch marks dermatologist gave me that but didn't give instructions so what to do?

I don't understand: why Epiduo would be prescribed for eczema or stretch marks. In the U.S., it's FDA approved for treating acne. IMHO would be ineffective for stretch marks and might actually make eczema worse since it causes skin irritation. Check with your doctor about this. Dr. Anne

Hi: Epiduo is for acne treatment, use it on the entire area where you have acne. It will not help eczema or stretch marks.
