Can a dermatologist report me for my extreme body mods?

I am into scarification and I do my own. 
Many people have mistaken it for self harm but i am not a sad person. I do not want to end it or hurt myself at all. Im actually very happy. 

Anyways, i need to go to a dermatologist to have a mole checked. There are fresh scars all over my thighs. 

Will they report me even if i tell them its just body mod scarification i do at home?

It depends.  How old are you?

My guess is that if you are a legal adult, there is no one to report you to.  First, there is the issue of doctor-patient confidentiality, so he would have to suspect that you are a serious threat to yourself in order to say anything.  Then assuming he thinks that, he reports you to some sort of counselor.  But if you are a legal adult, you have the right to refuse treatment.

If you are not an adult, it's a different story.
