Dr. Sean Barbabella, the personal doctor of United States President Donald Trump, has revealed that the rash on the right side of the President’s neck is from a cream he is using as a “preventative skin treatment.”

“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment,” Dr. Sean Barbabella said in a statement. “The President is using the treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”

Barbabella did not explain why Trump is using the cream, and the White House has not responded to questions about his condition.

The reddish spot was visible during a Medal of Honor ceremony, rising above the collar of his shirt and stopping just below his ear.

At 79, Trump is the oldest president to take office and has experienced periodic bruising on the backs of his hands, which has raised questions about his health. He has said the bruises are from frequent handshakes and a higher daily dose of aspirin, which makes him more prone to bruising.

Trump also had two medical exams last year at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, including one that involved “cardiovascular imaging,” Barbabella said. He has repeatedly stated that the president remains healthy, writing in December that Trump “remains in excellent overall health.” (CNN)
