Social media users have questioned US president Donald Trump's health once again after another image of his hand began circulating online.

Earlier this year, when Trump sat down with French president, Emmanuel Macron, on the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, images from the meeting were shared online.

Not long after the press conference, people began discussing a mark on Trump's right hand, which some likened to a dark bruise.

One person wrote on X: "Scrolling Getty and couldn't help but notice this photo of a huge bruise on Trump's hand today."

While another said: "Some photos over the last few months show bruising on Trump's hand... Always seems to be on the same hand."

And a third added: "Trump has a massive bruise on the back of his right hand. How did he get that?"

Others claimed the president had concealed the mark with cosmetic products, with a Getty Images photograph described on the site as being 'covered in make-up'.

At the time, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said: "President Trump is a man of the people and he meets more Americans and shakes their hands on a daily basis than any other president in history.

"His commitment is unwavering, and he proves that every single day."

"President Trump has bruises on his hand because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day," Leavitt added in a follow-up statement.

However, after the mark was spotted again this week, social media users have expressed their concern online.

During a meeting with Irish leader Micheál Martin, people noted that the mark was visible on Trump's hand.

According to skin expert, Dr Anatalia Moore, the mark could be down to Trump's age.

"For many patients into their 70s, particularly if they are not what we call a 'fit 70'; simply a knock on a door frame could also cause a significant bruise. Our limbs, hands included, are what tend to get knocked more easily as balance and coordination also deteriorate as we get older," Dr Moore told the Mirror.

"Initially a bruise will appear dark and purple red, the bigger the collection of blood under the skin the larger the bruise and the deeper its hue. The body then clears away the blood and repairs the damage and in doing so converts the red blood cells into easily transportable waste products; this is what contributes to the colour change in bruising.

"As the bruise heals we then see a green yellow colour appear. As we age, this healing process is slowed down, leading to bigger bruises happening that take longer to heal."

UNILAD has contacted The White House for comment.
