President Donald Trump appears to have a new injury to accompany his persistent hand bruise: a neck rash.
The breakout was on full display Monday during a Medal of Honor ceremony in the East Room of the White House, beginning just behind the president’s right ear, then following his neckline down past his collar.
The White House told HuffPost in a statement the rash is the result of 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, prescribed by the White House Doctor,” the statement read. “The President is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks.”
The White House didn’t immediately respond when asked to name the skin cream.
Trump reportedly also takes 325mg of aspirin daily, which the White House says is partially responsible for the persistent bruises on the back of the president’s hands.
The president’s hand also appeared to be quite swollen in December when he extended it to shake hands with FIFA President Gianni Infantino while accepting a peace prize they clearly made up just for him.
During the 2024 election, Trump’s opponent, Kamala Harris, released her medical records to prove her physical fitness for the job; Trump never did so despite promising he would.
