Hi, welcome to HCM.
By what you quote it doesn't seems to be a ulcer. If its a ulcer then the baby must feel pain during feeding. It could be a benign skin lesion.
In my opinion, skin biopsy should be done for diagnosis.
You can also send some pictures so that diagnosis can be made.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
