Enlarged pores 9 days after starting Tretinoin gel with Accutane, is this normal? (photos)

axxs
Hello! So 9 days ago my dermatologist put me on 40mg Accutane a day and gave me a Tretinoin 0,02% and Glycolic Acid 4% gel to use every night. The first 4 days it burned my skin very bad but after that I guess it got used to it. It’s still red though but doesn’t hurt. But now I see that the area of my enlarged pores has gotten larger. It used to be only on my nose and the sides of the nose but the pores are visible on my cheeks and they look very enlarged. Is this normal?
