Inappropriate doctor

Ok, I have written about this doctor before and I want to know, is what he did today, considered inappropriate? I went to him for well woman exam and he seemed nervous at first- I was too for that matter. After a bit he relaxed and seemed thrilled tobe doing my exam. He did the pelvic exam and it went over without a hitch. In fact he was a complete gentleman. He got to my breast exam and he made a comment about my breasts being dense and so on. He also noticed my "sunburn" on my chest. It wasn't a sunburn, my chest gets red when anxious, angry or embarrassed, I'm pretty fair skinned. I told him that it wasn't from sun but embarrassment. He said, "Ohhhh!" Anyway, I have been having nipple discharge from one nipple and he asked about color and so on. So I said that I would express some for him to see. Anyway, he inspected it and instead of handing me a tissue to wipe the discharge away, he wiped it for me. My hand was held out to grab a tissue but he didn't give it to me but did it himself. Is this inappropriate? Or am I wrong?

He sounds like a slob, but not necessarily a sex deviate. I am surprised the exam was undertaken without a another female in the room. That is the norm.

There was a nurse present.

Well I was wondering since I had my hand held out for a tissue and he took it upon himself to wipe it for me instead of letting me do it. Just seemed off, but otherwise he was gentlemanly.

No body is wrong and nothing is inappropriate especially when you accept to be examined by a doctor of the opposite sex.
