During recent public appearances, former President Donald Trump displayed red marks on his hand, sparking speculation. The marks appeared on his thumb, index finger, and palm. Possible causes suggested included a fall, hand herpes, or ketchup.
Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a dermatologist, noted that hand rashes can be caused by infections, inflammation, or external factors. He provided four potential explanations: dry skin, possibly from frequent handwashing or cold weather; golf-related blisters; chemical burns from lime juice; or simply an insect bite. He emphasized that diagnosing based on a photo is not reliable.
Trump has frequently touted his good health, with a medical report from his doctor stating he’s in “excellent” condition. However, his health has often been a topic of public discussion, especially regarding his mental and physical fitness during his presidency.
