In this contribution we study the Dirac equation for a finite size proton in an external electric field with explicit introduction of Dirac-Pauli form factors. Our aim is twofold. On the one hand, we wish to study whether our conclusions regarding the exact cancellation between Dirac form factor and Foldy term contributions occurring for the neutron still hold for the proton. On the other hand, we wish to clearly illustrate some of the specific features of the description of a composite particle like the proton with the Dirac equation.
