Your physician should always examine a mole first to determine whether or not it is cancerous; otherwise, the possible cancer could spread. Not only that, you could cause infection and/or permanent skin scarring if you attempt to cut, pull, freeze, or burn a mole off yourself. Surgical mole removals can be expensive, and may not be covered by insurance plans, so seeking an at-home treatment can be understandable; however, they are not recommended. Don't cut a mole off with a knife, scissors, nail clippers, etc. Don't use duct tape, nail polish, your fingers, etc. to yank one off. Don't attempt to freeze a mole off with ice, dry ice, liquid nitrogen, etc. Don't attempt to burn a mole off with flame or electrical currents. There are various creams and other products marketed as at-home mole removal treatments. You should use these with caution, even if they are easily available at over-the-counter at pharmacies or online and described as "natural" or backed by a guarantee. Even though many of these creams contain extracts of common substances like cashew, fig, lemon, eggplant, greater celandine, and bloodroot, they can cause burning, stinging, irritation, and permanent scarring. "Natural" does not always mean "safe." These products may be marketed under names such as: Best on Earth Black Salve Black Blood Root Salve Curaderm Dermatend Pristine Touch Wart & Mole Vanish If you would like to try removing a mole using one or more of the foods that are often incorporated in mole removal creams, you may be able to do so safely; however, these treatments are typically not medically proven and are probably ineffective. Discuss your plans for an at-home, food-based treatment with a physician. Traditional treatments involve using foods such as cauliflower, grapefruit, radish, walnuts, figs, vinegar, banana peel, pineapple, cashew, garlic, and honey. Make a paste or juice from one or more of these foods. Apply it to the mole daily and let it dry (approximately 10-15 minutes), then wash it off. Some sources claim that repeated use of this treatment will cause the mole to vanish. Some foods that contain acid or other harsh substances can cause slight burning, tingling, or stinging. If your at-home mole treatment begins to irritate your skin, stop using it immediately. You can also try removing a mole by applying one or more non-food substances to the site. Even if these substances are commonly available, however, they can cause scarring, burning, irritation, etc. The effectiveness of these treatments is not proven, and before attempting one, you should talk to a physician about the associated risks. Try making a paste of baking soda mixed with castor oil. Dip gauze in the paste, cover the mole with the gauze, and keep it there overnight. Try this daily to see if your mole vanishes. Apply a drop of iodine to the mole, twice a day for a week (or until the mole disappears). Iodine must be handled properly, and should not be ingested. It may also cause burning or irritation; if this happens, stop using it immediately. Obtain the white juice from a milkweed plant and rub it on the mole. Be very cautious when attempting this method as some species of milkweed are known to be toxic. If you cannot obtain a surgical mole removal and do not want to take on the risks of at-home creams and other treatments, you can also try to "remove" the mole from sight by covering it or drawing attention away from it. For instance: Wear make up such as a concealer or powder to hide the mole. You may have to experiment with different ones to find a shade that conceals it. It there is hair growing out of or around the mole, you can use scissors to carefully clip it away (making sure not to cut the mole itself). This can reduce the obviousness of the mole. If your mole is in an area of your body that can be covered by clothing, you can try to choose a wardrobe that will conceal it. For instance, long sleeves can cover up a mole on your arm; wearing long pants or skirts can conceal a mole on your leg. You may be able to distract people from looking at your mole. For instance, if you have a mole on your neck that you do not like, try wearing attractive earrings to draw attention away from it.

Summary: Do not try to shave, cut, burn, freeze, or yank off a mole at home. Understand the risks before trying at-home treatments. Try food-based treatments. Try non-food treatments. Conceal the mole.

Tail bobbing after exercise may be done while the bird is trying to catch its breath. However, if the bird is doing this behavior without having done any exercise, that can signal respiratory problems. If your bird is bobbing its tail without having done any exercise, have it seen by a veterinarian. Panting in birds can signal a variety of things, including that they are thirsty, that they have a respiratory infection, or that they just exercised. Make sure your bird has access to water immediately and monitor the panting. It it stops, then it was likely caused by physical exertion. If your bird likes to mimic sounds, panting can simply be a sound that they have heard that they are repeating. However, if your bird has had no way of hearing that sound, it is likely not a mimicked sound. Birds are generally sick for a week or two before they actually show signs of sickness. Birds tend to mask their sickness in the wild to avoid being spotted by predators and pet birds are nonetheless. Early diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. Rush your bird to an Avian Vet immediately. Make sure you check your bird's eating habits and food intake regularly. Reduced appetite is one of the first signs of a sick bird.

If your bird is usually very vocal but has not been singing or chattering lately, then you should have it checked out by a veterinarian. A lack of singing or chattering can be a sign that your bird it not feeling well.
Summary: Look for tail bobbing without previous exercise. Pay attention to panting. Notice changes in behavior. Pay attention to a lack of vocalization.
