ALBAWABA - Russian President Vladimir Putin's health was under the spotlight after his latest appearance with a mystery dark blotch on his forehead.

Rumors flooded social media as people claimed that Putin's health might be deteriorating after the Russian president was spotted in his latest appearance with a red patch just under his hairline, The Sun reported.

According to the British newspaper, Putin's unexplained spot was seen during his latest speech on his newly declared Day of Reunification.

This comes also shortly after rumors circulated on social media surrounding the health of the Russian President after North Korean President Kim Jong Un raised a toast to Putin's health during a meeting in Moscow.

Allegations have always been surrounding the Russian President claiming that Putin might had cancer and after the unexplained spot on his forehead, people re-questioned if this is possibly related to "cancer".

Last year and shortly after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many rumors surrounded Putin's health claiming that the Russian president was diagnosed with cancer.

Among the claims which were not supported by any medical proof, unverified "intelligence reports" suggested that Putin was "gravely ill with bowel cancer."
