Well interesting times I dont underdress when I go to my doctors. I have worn androgynous tops, but she doesnt see what I had on when Im in the examining room.
I?ve had a rash/sore that she had treated before when it was bothering me. The rash follows where my bra underwires sit under my boob. I fully fill a 36 C cup bra. I'm thin. She examines the area and treats the sores. As I?m getting dressed she says, we get those from chafing.
And...?
If you want to prevent the rash/sores, then come out and tell your physician how you got them. She may be able to help you prevent them in the future.
Although, at a guess, I'm gonna say your bra doesn't fit properly. Sounds like the band is too tight. You might want to try a 38.
Before you can love another, you must first like yourself

I had a similar situation where my bra was chaffing my shoulders. I went with a size larger and the chaffing ended.
You are wearing the wrong size would be my guess.I have only had chaffing from lacy straps or bands.
Pretty is nice but too uncomfortable.
Funny thing is that my wife complains about chafing at the same place. Not sure if I should tell her the thought here is that she needs a new bra size. She does know I am a member here though.

I am sure your doctor knows exactly how the rash occurred.
She is however professional and waiting for you to tell her.
Her comment about chaffing is probably the biggest hint you will get.
Crissy,
Don't do it...

Davina, My wife and her whole family give advice but do not take advice so I will most likely pass on that.
I agree with Shelly, your Dr knows for sure or she would not have made that comment.

Go up one size in your bra what could it hurt.

Always remember your doctor has seen it all before. Sometimes it"s simply us that can't see it like it is.
It will help her to treat you you if she doesn't have to pretend to be stupid. What have you got to lose? She's not going to tell anyone. She probably couldn't even if she wanted to.
In the US, the doctor can't out you because of the HIPPA privacy laws.
Sometimes, if I think that I've spilled too much, I will remind the doctor (or nurse) that everything that I said about crossdressing "is medically protected information and can't be released (even to my family without my permission.
Hi, I'm Steffi and I'm a crossdresser... And I accept and celebrate both sides of me. Or, maybe I'm gender fluid.
Steffi, You make me smile with this, I agree you are correct about the HIPPA laws but it does not prevent the Doctor or Nurse from talking about you over a cup of coffee or a meal.

You may be missing something here... if you fill a C cup, you have breasts. Your doctor may simply be saying that breasts can chafe. It may not be a reference to your bra at all.
Actually, it is against the law to talk about my medical condition to anyone besides me, even over a cup of coffee. That doesn't mean that everyone obeys the law. I've even been in hospitals where there are warnings not to talk about patients in the public elevators. Some doctors even make you stand back from the receptionist's counter so you can't hear what the patient at the counter is saying.Originally Posted by Crissy 107

Susan Smith hit the nail on the head. Doc has no idea that I'm a CD. I've had boobs since I was a kid. Perhaps part of my questioning what I was. The rash has no link to my wearing a bra. I had not worn one for over a month while recovering from another medical problem. I fail the pencil test. If I put a pencil at the base of my boobs it won't fall.
I do have a doctor friend who said he could make me a D cup. We were joking about young women who get enhancements. We both think that most of them look like they have grapefruits for boobs. I'm not into big boobs on me or women. Clothes look better with B or C cup boobs.
As for HIPA. It sounds good but I can tell you it isn't followed that much between staff.
It isn't a bra size problem. It is a rash from a past experience where I received a bad rope burn. It is only on that side and my bras are not tight. I think it is sweat collecting between the bra and chest skin.
It appears that you are not the first crossdresser that your doctor has seen. And your doctor is perceptive and helpful. You are indeed fortunate.
