Hi guys!

I have my first appointment with a dermatologist tomorrow and my mom is coming with me (I'm 17 years old). I have one concern about patient-doctor confidentiality.

I have a tattoo (that my mother doesn't know about) that is visible if I pull my underwear down a bit, and I was wondering if the derm ever asks you to disrobe like they do at annual checkups. I'd like to keep my tattoo a secret to my parents until another time. Do you have any ideas on how to handle this?
