Abstract
Full body skin examinations (FBSEs) are part of the purview of a dermatologic exam. Because this involves examination of sensitive or “intimate” areas, there are many ethical issues involved. Herein we discuss whether screening patients with a FBSE is ethical and consistent with the ethical tenet of distributive justice, how to ethically deal with our disabled patients, how to ethically navigate patients who have been emotionally or physically traumatized in the past, and the ethical ramifications of the use of a chaperone.
