Donald Trump’s neck Red Mark: When US President Donald Trump was giving a press conference regarding the Iran war, a photojournalist’s lens rested on his neck. The skin of Trump’s neck appeared badly covered with red rashes. When this picture came in the news, it became common to discuss all over the world what happened to the skin of Donald Trump’s neck. This discussion is still going on on social media. When this news spread far and wide, Donald Trump’s doctor, Dr. Sean Barbabella, said that President Trump is using a very common cream on the right side of his neck. This is a precautionary treatment, which has been prescribed by the White House doctor.

Why is there a red mark?
According to the news of Daily Mail, the doctor said that the President has been undergoing this treatment for the last one week and the redness may persist for a few weeks. Although no disease has been officially confirmed yet, people are making different guesses on social media. Some people say that it could be contact dermatitis (skin allergy) caused by the chemicals used in dry cleaning of suits. Some expressed fear of a skin disease called rosacea, which causes the face or skin to turn red. It has been told that Trump has already been suffering from this problem. Some people also said that scaly skin could be a sign of shingles (a painful rash caused by the smallpox virus).

is this a disease
Doctors believe that the red scab-like marks visible on Trump’s neck could be due to actinic keratosis. This is a common skin problem caused by sunlight, in which the skin starts appearing red. Dermatologist Dr. Paul Farrant told the Daily Mail that such red rashes on the right side of the neck can also be caused by the treatment of actinic keratosis. It may be a precancerous condition caused by skin damage caused by sunlight. Doctors say that when such creams are applied, prolonged redness and irritation is normal. The redness visible under the collar of Trump’s shirt could be due to this reason.

What is actinic keratosis?
Actinic keratosis (also known as solar keratosis) are dry, scaly patches on the skin. These occur due to exposure to sunlight for many years. This is because the skin cannot withstand the ultraviolet rays of the sun. These usually appear in areas that are exposed to excessive sunlight, such as the face, scalp, ears, neck, back of hands and arms. This problem is quite common. Almost one out of every four people aged 60 years or older may have it. These spots are usually half an inch to one inch in size. According to the color of the skin, it can be light, pink, red or brown. These feel rough or sandy when touched.

is it serious?
This disease is usually not serious. But in very rare cases, it can further develop into skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which starts in the upper layer of the skin.

How is the treatment done?
If someone has only a small spot, the doctor may advise to observe it for some time to see if it heals on its own. But if the spots are large, or there is pain and itching, then treatment becomes necessary. In such a situation, the patient can be sent to a dermatologist. This is corrected with cream. If the cream is not helping then eventually a minor surgery is done. However, for this, timely investigation is necessary.

What should common people do?
If common people see red spots or rashes on any part of the body and it does not get better within two-three days, if there is itching or pain, then they should immediately consult a doctor. If these rashes increase, do not delay and contact the doctor immediately.
