hi there.
1. don't worry, it just a healing ulcer.
2. get ESR blood test done, if it is below 20 mm ignore everything, but if it abovee 20 mm consult a dermatologist near by you for physical examination.
3. until then start using tbact oint twice daily and opexa gel once daily bed time for enhancing the ulcer healing.
4. prefer diet rich in proteins and vit C like citrus fruits
they heal in skin healing.
this may help you.
