Could a TCA chemical peel cause larger pores?
I had a TCA peel 25%, done by myself. I applied 2 coats and didn't noticed any frosting, however I rinsed it and used a neutralizer formula (baking soda + purified water). Today is day 8, and I only noticed some flaking on my chin and forehead, however my pores are larger than ever.

Please help
