Concerns around Donald Trump’s health have emerged again. He appeared with a visible red rash and scabs on his neck during the Medal of Honor ceremony. At the time, a White House physician told PEOPLE that the redness could exist for a few weeks. This is because Trump follows a prescribed preventative skin treatment. The next day, Trump appeared to have concealed the large rash with makeup. No visible redness was seen; only the texture of the scabs was noticeable.

During his latest Oval Office appearance on March 3, President Trump appeared to have concealed his large neck rash with makeup. No redness was visible behind his ear, only the texture of scabs. This comes in light of his presence the day before at the Medal of Honor. That day, many noticed a large red rash on the right side of his neck, sparking widespread discussion about his health.
At the time, White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella told PEOPLE that the redness was due to the cream he was using for a skin treatment. He didn’t disclose for what skin condition the cream was prescribed. ” [Trump] was using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House Doctor. The president is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks,” he explained.
This is not the first time Trump’s scar has garnered widespread attention. Previously, multiple times, bruises on his hand have sparked concerns about aging and underlying health conditions. However, he brushed off concerns, noting that he has “perfect health” and that he uses makeup to cover bruises caused by the effects of aspirin in an interview with the BBC. He admitted to taking a high dosage of aspirin despite the doctor’s recommendation of a low dose. Due to this, he claimed that he experiences frequent bruising.
