A member asked:

Will you have to be fully naked in front of the doctor for a yearly exam or a skin cancer screening?

Generally good idea: If you want your entire skin examined, you should be draped, but naked.

Some basics: Physicians rarely have a patient stand fully naked. You are generally provided with a gown that is moved to expose the areas being examined at the moment. Skin cancer screening would involve looking at all surfaces, but a polite exam acknowledges the awkward situations when they arise.
