US EditionWhat Is Causing Redness on the Back of President Trump's Neck?
- On March 2, photographs from the Medal of Honor ceremony show discolored, irritated skin behind President Donald Trump's right ear, and the White House said he is using a common preventative cream on the right side of his neck.

- Clinicians note that topical treatment courses cause red scaling reactions and that precancerous actinic keratoses have a squamous cell carcinoma risk of about one in 100.
