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."

Well… looking at the pic in the article and then stupidly looking up pictures of syphilitic rashes…

…

I don’t think that’s syphilis… but I’m not an expert… not a doctor… but don’t look up syphilis rashes… it’s rough

I'm going to take that advice.

Doesn't look like it to me either. But if you really do want an expert's opinion I could ask my dad. It was his field of study for his entire career. It's not often that comes in handy.

I am a sucker for competent expert analysis and opinion…
