ulcer
1. A lesion of the skin or a mucous membrane; such as, the one lining the stomach or duodenum which is accompanied by formation of pus and necrosis of surrounding tissue, usually resulting from inflammation or ischemia (inadequate blood supply [circulation] to a local area because of a blockage of the blood vessels to the area).
2. An area of tissue erosion, for example, of the skin or lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

Due to the erosion, an ulcer is concave. It is always depressed below the level of the surrounding tissue.

Ulcers have a variety of causes and on the skin are often a result of irritation, as with bedsores, and they may become infected and inflamed as they grow.
