My pediatrician doesn't check the diaper area for my baby during well baby visits. he doesn't check that area for my 7 year old either. is that ok?

Depends: I expect a doc to do genital exams during infancy when rashes and other issues are more common. I do not expect genital exams on all kids for their checkups after they get past 4 or so, particularly if that doc has followed them from infancy.
