Yes, they are:
encuerar.
- tr. Andalucía, Extremadura y América Desnudar, dejar en cueros a alguien. U. t. c. prnl.

That said, a doctor, a gynecologist, for instance, wouldn´t say to his or her patient:
Por favor, encuérese.
He or she would probably say:
Por favor, desnúdese (quítese la ropa).

I've heard that in Andalucía, my region, but I doubt you'll hear a doctor say that. - lazarus1907, Jun 6, 2011
