A rash spotted on President Donald Trump's neck is trending across social media and now his personal doctor is explaining what's behind it.

On Monday, President Trump made an appearance at a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House, where the rash, which could be seen on the right side of his neck, was first spotted. The reddish spot on his neck was photographed extending above his collar.

Dr. Sean Barbabella, Trump's physician, told CNN in a statement that the rash is because of a cream he is using as a "preventative skin treatment."

If he has a rash being formed by the cream, then that means he's having a negative reaction to it and should ~~not~~ continue using it.

I'm curious what that rash could actually be. I have my hopes, but it doesn't look like something good. If he really is taking an excessive amount of Aspirin (presumably to reduce the risk of a heart attack), then it could be as simple as his collar being too tight or rough on his skin. Based on the response they gave, that seems unlikely, though.

Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller accidentally gave him a hickey while whispering in his ear. He just couldn't help himself.
