ulcer  

Définition

  • Ulcers are open sores of the skin or other parts of the body which range widely in cause and seriousness. Generally, the ulcer is caused by an erosion of the epithelium—the skin is rubbed away by a lesion or wound of some sort—and is then perpetuated by an infection or inflammation of some sort and can then become dangerous.
