'Whoa – this is new': Trump's visible rash prompts new health concerns

President Donald Trump appeared in public Monday morning with a significant rash on his neck.
The 79-year-old president awarded the Medal of Honor at the White House to Vietnam veteran Terry P. Richardson, who is credited with saving the lives of 85 soldiers during a 1968 battle, and journalist Aaron Rupar noted that photos showed a heavy rash on the right side of Trump's neck at the event.
"Whoa -- this is new," Rupar posted, showing a photo credited to Getty photographer Saul Loeb. "Trump has a significant rash-like injury on his neck today in addition to his disfigured hand."
Trump has frequently been seen in public, including the medal award event, with makeup covering the back of his right hand to cover what appears to be injuries from IV injections, and the photo of his rash raised new concerns about his health.
......"My dad was doubling, possibly tripling up, his blood thinners at one point," posted Bluesky user Nicole. "Parts of his skin would just tear and bleed because of this. If his collar is rubbing up against his neck, the friction could cause this. Wasn't there something about him taking way too much aspirin?"

OP
Must be syphilis, when in advanced state the body keeps deteriorating. Or maybe it's leprosy?

This is the only mark I see, a tiny "scar" from a small cut, made by flying debris, it's certainly not a bullet wound.

I think even Stephen Miller would rather shrivel up and turn to dust than suck on that.

Clearly, it's rope burns from trying to do an Epstein, or an attempt at autoerotic asphyxiation gone awry.

I used to say I'd never wish the pain of postherpetic neuralgia on anyone. I've changed my mind.

Thanks! Nothing about what type of skin problem is being treated, though?

Sympathies on that feeling of deja vu working to add important info to multiple DU threads.

Not a doctor, but my money would be on basal cell carcinoma, probably superficial at this stage, not shingles

But the plastic surgeons did a great job reconstructing that ear that was blown off.
