Dermatologist... Full body skin exam

So sounds like this is only an issue after you have a neoplasm come up, right?

Not that it freaks me out, but it would be another annoyance (though much less so than skin cancer).

I went for my first ever full body scan at the dermatologist. In a way it was so matter of fact as to be almost boring.

The doctor was a lady, in her 30's I would guess. Very nice and friendly. No assistant or chaperone (ha ha) was present. She simply asked me to undress completely which I did in front of her desk where I laid my clothes on the chairs for patients. I don't know if she was watching me, but I would suspect out of the corner of her eye while she was doing something on her computer screen. I did not get any gown of course.

Then it was lay down on the exam table and she started looking all over, first with me on my back, then turned over and then sitting up so she could do my head and hands.

And that was it. I dressed in the same spot, in front of her desk while she gave me her findings. Which was to come back in a few months if a red spot on the palm of my left hand - of all places - hadn't gone away. There isn't even any joke in it since I'm right-handed - for everything.

It was all so matter of fact, no big production, no pandering to my modesty or anything. Sort of a let-down in a way after reading some of the accounts here.

To be nude with no gown, if you ask me, is better than a lot of accounts on here.

The first time I went to a dermatologist for an exam for a mole on my chest, I was wearing boardshorts that day because I was going to the beach later (and where I'm from we don't usually wear underpants with our boardshorts). So when I went in to see the doctor, he just had me remove my shirt (as expected) to check the mole on my chest. He looked at my back and he said "I'm noticing you have a lot of moles. You think you have some time so we can do a head to toe exam on you?" I said sure and the doctor left the room to get prepped (I assume). A few moments after, a female nurse came in and she told me "Okay, doctor wants to do a head to toe on you, if you could just go ahead and undress to your underpants and lie on the table, doctor will be in shortly". I looked down and kinda blushed and I told the nurse if it was ok that I didn't underpants on. She gave me a reassuring smile and said "Oh that's fine, no shame here! We get a lot of surfers here too, so it's not anything we haven't seen." So I undid my shorts and took them off and put them on the chair. Just as I did, the doctor walked in and nurse explained to him my nudity. He just replied "Oh yeah, no shame at all. We can take a good look at you now". After that, he gestured me to walk over and lie down on the exam table. Another thing to note was, the exam table was one of those tables that can between a chair position and a flat position. That was the first and only time I ever that I was completely naked at the dermatologist.

He has me come back for 6 month mole checkups, but I make sure I have underwear on for those. He usually will just pull my underwear out just enough to expose my entire genitals to examine my groin area. Never completely removed.

"Oh that's fine, no shame here! We get a lot of surfers here too, so it's not anything we haven't seen."

"Oh yeah, no shame at all. We can take a good look at you now".

@algedi A lot of guys, i think myself included, would have taken that as a rite of passage to just be nude each subsequent time with them. Now it's definitely not something they haven't already seen anyway. And since it IS a skin exam

Having my first full-body skin exam in a couple of days. Any pointers for ensuring that I get the full genital and rectal check? Thanks!

Good luck with that. Tell them you have been a nudist your whole life and would appreciate a thorough check.

@nobodyhome As you can see from what everyone posts on here, skin exams vary from dermatologist to dermatologist. Depending on which one conducts your exam, your genitals and rectal area may be included in the exam or they may not. if those areas are not checked, it may be up to you to voice any concerns you may have. These could be spots which you feel may have changed in size, or suddenly appeared that you hadn't noticed before. or you may be experiencing itchiness or have rashes you may want checked.

Bottom line is if the dermatologist you have does not automatically check those areas, you can directly request them to check them, or you may voice concerns over specific observations you may have had. So it's either that they will check automatically, or you have to speak up.

I go to female PA at dermatologist no gown, start clothes on, checks face and arms, remove shirt, check back and chest. I’m asked if I want to check legs, I of course agree and remove pants. Legs and feet checked. Then she asks if I want buttocks and genital area checked. She puts on gloves and has me lie down on exam table and lower underwear. Then turn over and backside checked. Nurse present to take notes on any findings.

My doc really has only ever examined my arms/legs/chest/abdomen/back head. never has even mentioned anything about genitalia or anything like that.

JTMac, thanks for the suggestions. Sounds like being as specific as possible is the way to go. Sites like WebMD just tell you to say "I want you to look everywhere," but I'll mention that I want genitals and rectal area included. I do have a couple of small spots on my penis that I can mention. This is my first time with this particular doc, so I'm hoping she'll bring in a "chaperone" to increase the embarrassment/vulnerability factor, but I don't want to ask as that would spoil the sense of surrendering control.

@nobodyhome what's is key is if you have legit concerns like those small spots. You don't want to come off like a perv or exhibitionist, but rather as a humble patient who needs a professional opinion on something you can point to for a valid reason. Otherwise, it's best not to say anything and just see what happens

@JTMac, that makes sense. I appreciate your taking my question seriously. As you've probably figured out, I'm pretty new at this. Had a very embarrassing encounter with an unannounced "chaperone" a year or so ago (which I just posted on another thread), and it seems to have flipped a switch in me. I was never even slightly drawn to medfet before.

Oh - I forgot to mention that I requested a copy of the doc's clinical note for my exam. I always do that for any intimate exam/procedure - it's a good memory aid, and quite erotic reading on its own. Almost lets you see your own body from the provider's perspective. Also, my thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread - your comments helped me a lot in planning my own encounter. Long live the medical fetish!

Showing my penis to my pretty female dermatologist and her female assistant again tomorrow. Will file a report when I get back....

My last full body exam was about 18 months ago. Completely naked, I did get an erection in full view of the doctor and chaperone. Both female. It was a nice long and thorough exam including genital and rectal areas. So the other day I was recalling this exam and masturbating. I was getting close to cuming when my phone rang and I received the automated reminder to make an appointment with the dermatologist as I am overdue for a skin check....The universe is truly a strange place.

@CompliantGuy, anybody who doubts that the universe has a sense of humor isn't paying attention! I'm planning to ask for a thorough genital and rectal check tomorrow, since she didn't do that last time. I'd love to read a more detailed account of your exam with erection....

The first play doc I had did one for me. He wanted my first experience to be memorable. When I got to his 'office' we chatted a bit and then he said he wanted to start with the full body derm exam. He had me strip, while he watched, and then took out several different magnifiers and proceeded to check every inch of my body. It took maybe 10-15 minutes. He them had me put on my underwear and we began our regular physical. The excitement of being fully naked, so quickly, so examined and explored was amazing.

I had my 6 month exam two weeks ago. I was told to stay in underwear and was given a paper gown.

She briefly checked the front by pulling the boxers away from my body and peeked very quickly. On my butt, she lowered it some but she didn’t check the crack or the penis itself.

I’ve had a dermatologist who would have me naked but this one never does, though this was the first time she’s peeled under my underwear. I’m afraid of removing my boxers and being seen as too forward and rude or afraid of not wearing any underwear and end up being labeled as a perv.

Agracier said: She simply asked me to undress completely which I did in front of her desk where I laid my clothes on the chairs for patients.

you had to undress completely, also underpants? I thought normally you could keep them and asked it first 'if there is a need to check there too'

I’ve had one skin exam. Female dermatologist. She had me undress but keep my underwear on. She used that special magnifying glass and a string light and did a thorough exam of my skin. But she did not check my genitals or buttocks. Reading this thread it seems she should have.

I had a full body exam about two years ago. Went in for a cyst and my female dermatologist insisted on the full body exam. Had me undress down to my thong and wear a gown. She completely exposed my whole body including breast and pussy. Did a very throrough search. Everything looked good she said.

Following the discovery of a carcinoma 3 years ago, my wife has to have a dermatological examination every year and she is completely naked. As a preventive measure, I take the same exam and it's completely naked too!

I get one every March. I am told to take every stitch off, also watches, jewelry. I get a paper towel to put over my genitals. My Derm checks every area on my body; especially my scalp. She took a malignant growth off my butt and a few off my face (basal & squamous cell). I insist on a yearly exam. Glad I do.

Similar to a full body skin exam (I have one scheduled soon) I had the following experience.

Volunteered to have my skin swabbed for bacteria at a research hospital.

First two young female researchers went over explanations of what would be done then one instructed me change into a cloth gown but leave undergarments on and they left the room. I changed out of my clothes and waited in the room wearing only briefs in a cloth gown.

Three women then entered, two researchers and a doctor, all young females. They swabbed four areas on my body the nose the lower back the upper thighs in the back and the inguinal space by the top of groin.

First they had me sit while swabbed both nostrils. Then they asked be to lay down and raise the gown and pull my underwear to the middle so they could swab the groin (oops testicle popped out of the briefs - blush), they then repeated the procedure on the other side. After each 10 second swab they wiped off the solution used. Then they asked me to roll onto my belly and the gown fell completely open, they swabbed lower back and upper thighs and once again wiped the solution off.

After this the doctor left and the two researchers asked me to stand facing the wall and hold the gown gathered in front so they could photograph my whole back.

While there is nothing specifically erotic about this experience, much like full body skin exams at the dermatologist, I found this experience exciting in a medfet way. My face was flushed even though I kept cool... Hard to describe that overload feeling but I suspect many of my fellow Zity folks understand precisely what I mean.

I've had several full body skin exams over the years and I've posted here a couple of times about my experiences having them. Today I had my latest yearly FBSE with my female dermatologist. She was assisted by her female assistant. Both were very attractive and on the younger side.

I've found that if you really want a FBSE and not just a cursory one then you need to show them that you are fully ready for a FBSE by acting like it is no big deal to be completely naked in front of them and by letting them know where you have or may have some concerns especially if those concerns relate to the genital area. The easiest way to let them know that you are not shy about nudity is to refuse a drape if one is offered to you or simply put it aside and don't put it one if they do give you one.

My exam started by me meeting with the assistant and going over my concerns. I told her about a chronic rash in my pelvic area but otherwise I didn't have any concerns. She said to strip naked, left me a drape and as she exited the room she indicated that the doctor would be in shortly. I stripped naked but put the drape on the counter and sat on the exam table completely naked until they both retured.

As they knocked and entered, I stood and greeted my doctor with a handshake and some brief small talk. She smiled and asked me to lay down on the exam table and we chatted briefly about my rash in the pelvic area as she examined it. She said that there was some redness and to treat it with Aquaphor.

Next she examined me from toe to head as I was on my back. Then she asked me to lean over onto my left side as she examined my side and some of my backside. Then she asked me to lean over on my right side as she examined my side and the rest of the backside. All this as I was completely naked. Her assistant observed me and had a very clear view of my body. She then asked me to get on my belly. Once positioned there, she spread by buttocks and checked out everything there. Note that when she had previously examined the rash in my pelvic area, she did touch and hold my penis as she examined it and the rash.

Once all that was completed, she indicated that she had some concerns and that she wanted to freeze several areas of my body as they looked pre-cancerous. I've had that done before so I knew what she was talking about and didn't have any questions. Then she took her freezing spray can and applied it to the areas she was concernd with. And that was it.

She said that she would see me next year and to call her if I had any concerns. I stood up and shook her hand and thanked her. I also thanked her assistant.

They were both very professional as all my dermatology people have always been. I acted so non challant during the whole process, which only took about 15 minutes, but loved every minute of being naked and on display for them. I didn't get hard but I wasn't completely flaccid either. Can't wait until my next exam next year.

Wife and I just had our yearly "full body" skin exams this past week. It was a joke as far as being checked around the crotch area. Unless we specifically call attention to something in that area, our doc in my case just takes a quick look with underwear down and then back up, and for my wife, never checked beneath her underwear... Before you ask why stick with this doc.... when it comes to evaluating and taking care of something found or mentioned, he's very knowledgeable.

Sitting here with a smug feeling of self satisfaction. My doctor expressed surprise at two things last physical, and one of them was that with my skin I did not need to go to the dermatologist yet. May it last for many more years!

I've found that if you really want a FBSE and not just a cursory one then you need to show them that you are fully ready for a FBSE by acting like it is no big deal to be completely naked in front of them and by letting them know where you have or may have some concerns especially if those concerns relate to the genital area. The easiest way to let them know that you are not shy about nudity is to refuse a drape if one is offered to you or simply put it aside and don't put it one if they do give you one.

Exactly. I'm a big believer in giving my doctors (dermo and otherwise) not-so-subtle hints that I expect a very thorough exam, and that I'm completely comfortable with my own nudity. Leaving the gown or drape off is a very good way to do that. Although I typically will use the drape until the doctor (and possibly nurse) is safely inside the exam room and the door is closed, then it's set aside. That way I don't inadvertently expose myself to someone walking by in the hallway. It's not their job to see my nude body, and I don't think it's fair to force myself on them.

I've had more than a few skin exams, but only the earliest ones were complete. Complete, as in they looked at every inch both times. I was completely naked after a minute or two for both. Both male doctors, both in small practices, both spent generous time assessing the new spots and signs of trouble. Had several things frozen and one or two scraped, so they were right to be complete. Both inspected me front and back, including pushing through the pubic hair, and having me spread my butt cheeks so they could look between.

That being said, they don't routinely look everywhere. The most recent office always cautions Keep Your Underwear On! When the primary MD (male) does the yearly exam, I take everything off anyway and put on the gown open to the back. He doesn't blink, takes a quick look behind me, bunches the gown in my lap and quickly looks everywhere but under it. That's not complete, but better than I've received for a few years.

He has an assistant who does small removals and occasionally the skin exam, she's a young and seemingly fairly new PA. Her instructions always come emphatically "KEEP YOUR UNDERWEAR ON!" Sounds almost panicked, and it's not like there's a risk, she's always accompanied by an assistant or chaperone, tall big friendly young guy.

She carefully works around an area like a bike short would cover. Once I mentioned a patch on the side of my hip and she nodded and carefully pulled out the waist band just far enough to take a quick peek.

Will try one more time and suggest that he look from head to foot, then move on if he doesn't. Too bad, outstanding work and a really nice guy.
