  • President Donald Trump was seen with a visible red blotch on his neck during a Medal of Honor ceremony at the White House on Monday.
  • The mark appeared as rash-like with an apparent scab, prompting speculation regarding his health.
  • The notice of the rash comes after the president has faced a lot of scrutiny for bruising on his hands, which aides have attributed to frequent handshaking.
  • During the ceremony, Trump awarded the Medal of Honor to retired Army Command Sgt. Major Terry P. Richardson and posthumously awarded Army Master Sgt. Roderick W. Edmonds, and Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis.
