Answers:
He should have asked if you felt comfortable with him checking there!. It depends on how professional his manner was!.

My doctor asked if I was comfortable with him feeling under my arms for a physical!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, doctor's see that all the time!. if your having a full body exam to check for moles, it's normal for them to check the entire body!. if you are uncomfortable with a male doctor, you could try to find a female dermatologist for your exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no not really!.!. i mean he's done it so many times that he doesn't even pay attention to little things like that!.!. for him it's no big deal, its you that reacts so strongly to it cuz you're not use to it!.!. you can just ask him next time and tell him you're not comfortable, i'm sure he'll undertand!.!.
