I am Dr. Govind. Whether you are dealing with persistent skin issues or sexual health concerns, I strip away the guesswork and focus on science, not trends.

This video shows a live pubic louse, also known as a crab louse or Phthirus pubis, seen through a dermatoscope. This tool allows me to magnify the skin and see parasites like this in detail, confirming a diagnosis without guesswork. You can see it clinging to the hair shaft, which is typical for this type of sexually transmitted infection. Unlike many STIs, condoms do not prevent the spread of pubic lice as it is transmitted through close body contact.

Here, I explain how cryotherapy works for treating viral warts, including genital warts caused by HPV. The procedure uses extremely cold liquid nitrogen to freeze and destroy the virus infected cells. It is a highly effective, needle free treatment that also helps stimulate your own immune system to fight the infection.

A common and dangerous myth is that you cannot get an STD from oral sex. This is incorrect. I explain how infections like Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Herpes, and even HPV can be transmitted this way. Using protection is necessary for safer sex, regardless of the type of intercourse.

This image shows a skin condition called Erythrasma as seen under a special diagnostic tool called a Wood's lamp. The distinct coral red glow is caused by bacteria and helps me differentiate it from a fungal infection. An accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment, as not every itch or rash in the groin is an STD.

Many people know smoking causes cancer, but few are aware of its direct impact on sexual health. In this video, I discuss how smoking can lead to premature skin aging, hair loss, and significant sexual health problems like erectile dysfunction and infertility, even at a young age. Your overall health is directly linked to your sexual well being.

I believe that educating people is as important as treating them. Here I am speaking at a seminar, mentoring students and parents. Being a trusted authority in the field of dermatology means sharing knowledge and helping people make informed decisions about their health.

On World AIDS Day, I discuss the importance of equal access to information and testing for HIV. Despite awareness, many myths still exist about how the virus spreads. My goal is to provide clear, factual information and encourage safe practices to help fight this disease.
