Donald TrumpDoctors have given some insight into a neck rash discovered on the back of the president’s neck in recent weeks.
“President Trump used a very common cream on the right side of his neck as a preventive skin treatment,” Dr. Sean Barbera said in a statement CNN Monday, March 2nd. “The president is using the treatment for a week and the redness is expected to continue for several weeks.”
The medical professional did not reveal why Trump, 79, needed the ointment. The White House has yet to address the president’s skin concerns.
Earlier Monday, Trump attended a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House. During the event, someone saw a red rash with scabs on the back right side of Trump’s neck. The skin problem can be seen near the president’s hairline and extends to his shirt collar.
This is not the first time Trump has had skin problems. He has previously been photographed with bruises on his hands, sometimes covered up with makeup. White House press secretary Carolyn Leavitt talked about Trump’s bruises during a press briefing in February 2025.
“President Trump has bruises on his hands because he’s constantly working and shaking hands every day,” Levitt said at the time. “President Trump is a people’s man. His commitment is unwavering and he proves it every day.”
Later that year, Barbera revealed that Trump, the oldest president ever sworn in, had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency. According to the Cleveland Clinic, this condition is a type of vein disease that occurs when a person’s leg veins become damaged.

“In recent weeks, President Trump has noticed slight swelling in his calf,” Barbella wrote in a note read by Levitt at a July 2025 news conference. “In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, the White House medical department conducted a thorough evaluation of this issue.”
Bababella’s note added that chronic venous insufficiency is a “benign and common condition, particularly in people over the age of 70.” He reiterated that Trump’s “overall health is excellent.”
Earlier this year, Trump said his bruises were caused by an overdose of aspirin. In a January 2026 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Trump revealed that he takes 325 milligrams of aspirin daily (the typical daily dose range for aspirin therapy is between 75 milligrams and 325 milligrams, according to the Mayo Clinic.)
“They say aspirin helps thin the blood, and I don’t want thick blood flowing through my heart,” he told the outlet. “I want good, thin blood flowing through my heart. Does that make sense?”
Later that month, Trump was seen with bruises on his left hand, but not his right. (Trump shakes hands with his right hand.)
Levitt revealed that the bruise on his left hand was caused by Trump hitting the corner of the table with his hand.
