Why seek out a derm at all? They just scar you and take your money.That’s true. Seek out another derm. They’d need a co2-laser or a Yag- or neodym bssed laser. Minimum scarring

Hi!Appreciate any input on this. Have a mole on my nose, it's been there forever. Similar colour to my skin, so it's never bothered me. After a sunburn at the end of last year, it went very dark, which made me notice it more. I thought it had increased in size (nothing crazy). The dark skin peeled away and it returned to its normal colour.
Anyway, I was at the doc, and asked him to take a look. He said the colours looked "chaotic" and given that it had possibly grown, he strongly recommended cutting it off. (no great surprise).
I spent the ensuing 6 weeks doing this: daily application of melanon, a drop of estroban, and then in the afternoon, a drop of cortinon, plus 2 drops of oral cortinon.
After 6 weeks, the mole and surrounding skin feel incredibly smooth, but otherwise, there is no change. It's still a little chaotic in colour, and it hasn't shrunk.
So my question is: should I get it removed? I believe I am somewhat hypothyroid at the moment, and am addressing that. Perhaps that is why the supplements didn't have more of an impact. The reason it's on my mind is I remember the Ray Peat quote where he said he's always been very cautious around moles, given their potential to metastisize.
As imperfect as the slice and dice thinking is, I'm wondering if in this instance it's the lesser of two evils? Does anyone have experience of mole removal?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
I had been addressing some of my weird growths with coconut oil and baking soda with mixed result for the last two or so years, with them sometimes getting scarily bigger. I discovered MCT coconut oil to be way more effective! Where it took me 8 or so months to get one to go away on my temple and even come back a year later, MCT has made a couple shrivel and fall off in a matter of weeks!Appreciate any input on this.

I don't scratch, just a simple dab a couple of times a day, nothing else, no baking soda. One rather big one on my back shrunk and fell off within two weeks. My family was stunned! I don't know if it works of every type of growth, but the one I had was brown, crusty and misshapen. A couple of others I am working on, when I can, cause I can't reach them on my back, are diminishing too.So just simple mct oil daily? Do you scratch the skin surface like the others said here in this thread before applying the oil?
To summarize this thread (please correct me if i got it wrong):
1. Scratch/Remove upper skin surface with nail, derma roller (?) or as someone suggested, a heated metal pin/nail.
2. Apply topically either:
-Iodine (lugols solution)
or
-Baking Soda paste
or
-MCT Oil
Or try topicall without scratching:
-Progesterone
or
-Neem Oil
or
-Black topical Salve
I had my son take a pic of my back a couple of years ago and today, asked him to find it for me, so I can send you a before and after pic :)A dab of MCT oil completely removed a mole? Seems too good to be true?

Anything else worked for you ?you could try removing it with apple cider vinegar or iodine, quite a few success stories online
had no luck using prog/melanon etc myself
Here is my latest removal with MCT oil James.A dab of MCT oil completely removed a mole? Seems too good to be true?
