What is an "ulcer"?
An ulcer is a sore or open wound that develops on the skin or the moist inner linings of the body, like the stomach lining or the mouth. Ulcers can be caused by various factors, including infections, injury, or certain medical conditions like stomach ulcers, which are often linked to bacterial infection or prolonged use of pain relievers like ibuprofen or aspirin. Symptoms of ulcers can include pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes discharge. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may involve medications, lifestyle changes, or in severe cases, surgery.
