US President Donald Trump’s doctor said that the latter is receiving precautionary treatment to treat skin redness that appeared in the neck area, but the White House declined on Wednesday to provide additional information about this matter.

Photos taken of Trump during a ceremony held on Monday noted clear skin redness on the right side of his neck, specifically just above the collar line.
Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s personal physician, explained that Trump uses a common cream as a “preventive skin treatment.”
He also added: “The president has been using this treatment for a week, and the redness is expected to continue for several weeks.”
When asked on Wednesday why this treatment was needed, White House spokeswoman Carolyn Leavitt stated that she did not have any additional information beyond what was stated in the doctor’s statement.
It should be noted that Trump’s health condition (79 years old) has become the focus of increasing attention during his second term, especially after it was noted that bruises appeared on his hands and swelling in his legs at times.
In January, Trump stated that the bruises on his hand were due to his frequent use of aspirin, while the White House explained that the president’s hand collided with a table while traveling abroad.
