Hi..
Welcome to HCM..
Thanks for the query..
The time for the ulcer to resolve depends on the size of the ulcer, cause of the ulcer and the general condition of the patient..
Recurrent corneal ulcer may be due to viral infections or autoimmune related..
They may take at least 2-3 wks time or more if treated properly..and definitely will leave a scar..
Discuss with your doctor about the cause and the treatment plan..
You need to use the prescribed medications without fail..
Hope this information is helpful to you..
Will be available for further queries..
