I decided to make my own post after reading this one:

I recently went to a dermatologist for a mole check. Never had one done in my life before, and I was sorta expecting they'd "find something". So yes they did a biopsy of one spot, sent it off to the lab, and told me the results indicated something positive. Now I do not remember the technical term they used to describe it, but they did say it had "greatly expanding" potential. I realize that this could be a precursor to melanoma and once that stuff hits your bloodstream you're pretty much done. But I've had this my whole life and no issues so far.

So the doctor wants to do minor surgery to remove that spot completely. I would be stitched up, probably 10-15 stitches, can't do any sort of heavy labor for like a month, and if you get stitches there's going to be scarring. The size of the spot itself is like half the size of a dime, perhaps less.

So the thread I linked above got me thinking that maybe ivermectin cream is worth trying, and maybe the tea tree oil too. I live in a state where ivermectin is legal to buy over the counter and I have done so before but I can only find pill form so far.

Considering most doctors who are able to perform surgery are usually eager to do so because they can bill my insurance for a good amount of money, I'm the one that has to live with the results good and bad. I don't think it's a big deal to postpone this for a couple months to try some alternative that could work. I don't particularly enjoy the idea of going under the knife for any surgery no matter how minor.

So what's everyone's opinion? Suggestions on what to try? I may message my doctor tomorrow asking for a prescription for ivermectin cream. The worst that can happen is they say no.
