CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner is oddly concerned about what appears to be a rash on the president.
President Donald Trump appeared at a Medal of Honor event on Monday, where some noticed that he had a red mark on the side of his neck, behind his ear. This immediately caught the attention of the mainstream media and leftists who have sought to cast doubt on Trump’s health in retaliation for the successful campaign that questioned former President Joe Biden’s cognitive state.
CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang published an X post with a statement from Dr. Sean Barbabella addressing the issue.

“President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck, which is a preventative skin treatment, prescribed by the White House doctor. The president is using this treatment for one week, and the redness is expected to last for a few weeks,” the statement reads.
Sounds like nothing to be concerned about, right? Well, CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner isn’t convinced, taking to X to question the “secrecy” with which the matter is being handled.
Preventative skin treatments (such as topical 5 flurouracil) are commonly used to prevent overt skin cancer in people with precancerous skin lesions. We don’t know what specific treatment the president is receiving, but why all the secrecy for something that is potentially easy… https://t.co/fufTeJmc6O

We don’t know what specific treatment the president is receiving, but why all the secrecy for something that is potentially easy to treat and very common in older people?” he wondered.
MS NOW’s Dr. Vin Gupta also weighed in, accusing the administration of “trying to fool the public.”
The White House medical team didn’t know @POTUS got a CT scan. They claimed it was a MRI for weeks.
Now instead of acknowledging he might have a pre-cancerous skin condition, they dance around the issue.
Trying to fool the public just makes it worse.
