What is an ulcer and why should I be concerned?
An ulceration of the skin is a disorder that results in the breakdown of skin layers. This could involve the various layers of the skin, subsequent soft tissue, muscle and bone. The skin is the largest organ system of the body that protects us from the outside. Therefore, ulcer formation is a serious problem adversely affecting the skin's protective resilience and possibly causing acute infection, tissue death, limb loss and even loss of life.
