Socks off for a physical?

Socks are always off for a physical, since ever I can remember

Always off

Cold feet. Always keep them on. Easy to take off if they want to see my feet. Only time I remember them asking to see my feet was when I complained about numbness in my toes. I was prepared for that. Was also sent to a podiatrist and neurologist for nerve evaluation. Just a part of being “ not so young” any more! No issues.

i mean once i hit 18 its been most of the time.

the first time was the time i got caught mkst off guard When i felt my shoes slip off and socks come down i was like oh no.

most exams now its shoes and socks only, occasionally shirt.

I will obey the practitioner's instructions if they are specific, but in general, when shoes come off, socks come off.

Physicals? No.

Dermatologist appointments? Always

I have bare feet for my physicals now but I wore my socks at the pediatrician.

Would look silly with only my underwear and shoes on

Growing up, I never had to at the pediatrician's office. When I hit puberty and realized med-fet was something I was into, being barefoot at the doctor's became more of a thing for me from a sensory perspective; I generally enjoy the feeling of walking barefoot (particularly on the hard cold floors at those offices), so it was something that I would do at summer physicals. Nowadays I really try to avoid walking barefoot in healthcare facilities out of an abundance of caution for things like MRSA. Play exams I will 100% always be naked and barefoot though throughout the exam.

If you are getting a head to toe physical it better include a thorough exam of your feet. The socks come off before they are looked at. Then you can put them back on.

I usually leave my ankle socks on until I am in the supine position then my doctor will remove them when it is time to examine my feet.
