"Trump Now Has a Giant, Crusty Rash on His Neck"

Trump Now Has a Giant, Crusty Rash on His Neck

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-now-giant-crusty-rash-183900255.html

Trump appeared to have a large red rash on the back of his neck Monday.

While speaking at the White House about his illegal war with Iran, Trump was spotted with a dark red patch of skin peeking out from under his collar. In a photograph taken by AFP photographer Saul Loeb, a large scab is visible.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the red mark. Possible causes of a red rash could include contact or atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, psoriasis, or heat rash. It could also be caused by shingles.

Unfortunately, all I am going to actually cheer for and pray for and wish for is that he has a terminal condition, that it is painful and that it incapacitates him soon.

Or he could just do the world a favor and drop dead of a massive stoke right now....

Edit to add: Just talked to couple of people about it, and they both said it looked like shingles. One of them said high dose blood thinner can trigger shingles attack. That would also explain his bruising. His swollen ankles are strong indicators of heart disease that is treated by blood thinners.

But some years back TSF was diagnosed with rosacea.

I'm not educated in the medical field but that's what I would assume it is. AND emotional stress can be a trigger but not limited to emotional stress.

https://www.aol.com/president-trump-apos-daily-medications-205421469.html

- CRESTOR, for the lowering of his cholesterol

- ASPIRIN, for cardiac health

- PROPECIA, for the prevention of male pattern hair loss

- Cream for the treatment of rosacea

- 1 multivitamin a day, for general health maintenance

In the January 2018 evaluation, Trump appeared to be in "excellent" cardiovascular shape for his age, according to then-White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson, who administered Trump's nearly four-hour physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said.

The president's medical issues were limited to high cholesterol, rosacea (a benign skin disease) and being considered "overweight," as measured by the body mass index (BMI).

Trump's LDL cholesterol level was 143 and total cholesterol level was 223, higher than the recommended total of 200. The LDL cholesterol, in particular, is significantly higher than the recommended level of 100.

The hint that this statement might not have actually been written by Dr Barbabella is that in it, he says that the medication was “prescribed by the White House Doctor”. He’s the WH Doctor.
