2 Fragen zu Ulceration

Ulceration refers to the formation of an ulcer, which is an open sore or break in the skin or mucous membrane that fails to heal properly. Ulcers can occur on the skin, inside the mouth, in the stomach (such as peptic ulcers), or on other body surfaces. They are often caused by infection, poor blood circulation, prolonged pressure, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling, and sometimes discharge. Treatment depends on the cause and location of the ulcer and may involve medication, wound care, or addressing underlying health issues.
