This doctor is dropping a truth bomb about whether you need to shave before your next appointment
Laurel Geraghty, M.D., has something to get off her chest.
"I'm busy searching for skin cancers, yet patients have taken the trouble to impeccably groom and even wear coordinated, lacy—occasionally racy—underwear under their exam gowns.
"Here's the thing: Every woman should wear whatever and groom however makes her feel most comfortable and confident, but please don't feel you need to dress up for the sake of your doctor. The fact that you've come to take care of yourself by taking care of your health is what your doctor appreciates.
"Besides, we're all naturally dressed up already... in about 20 square feet of glorious skin."
