Has anybody noticed the spot on Roger Federer's right cheek...?

Question

There seems to be a brownish spot on his right cheek that was never there before (I don't think...?). What could it be? Maybe it's the key to the whole mystery of why he's losing more often these days...?

Answer 1

yeah i saw that too and wondered what it was. I personally have no clue.

Answer 2

It was from a boil that had to be removed and was slow in healing.  Potentially because of a depleted immune system... one of the lingering effects of having mono.  

He also had a skin prick test which shows that he is allergic to clay, so playing so much on that surface is very likely to have slowed down the healing process as well.

Answer 3

wow, so you also noticed? I also wondered about that... and thanks for the answers here, I got the clues now... wasp are scar hazardous...  He needs to see a dermatologists to have it removed--he has the money to pay for the treatment, and can't his gf know better?

Answer 4

Its from  a beesting he got in Estoril. However it is super weird it hasn't gone away. I imagine its either been infected and therefore kind of scarred, hes got some kind of allergy hence the slow recovery, or his immune system still isn't quite right.

Answer 5

There was an article about this on talk tennis website that he stated it was from a wasp or bee sting.
