How to Get Rid of a Stretched Pore or Pore Scar

savvysonyaDec 30, 2010
Hi. I have an enlarged pore on my chin. It will not go away and looks worse with make up on. There doesnt seem to be anything inside of it, just a hole. I hate it. I have tried TCA and it didnt work. What can be done to get rid of this? I am thinking if i have to get it cut out I will. Would that punch thing work (I cant remember the name of it). I have a small hole in my face and I need help please!!!!!!
