I assume the question refers to an ulcer on the skin and not in the mouth or stomach.
The skin is the body's first line of defence against bacteria and viruses. When there is a break in the skin, such as in ulcers or burns, grazes and lacerations, there is a break in the body's defence system that allows opportunistic infection causng agents to have an easy entry to get in and cause infection.
This is particularly problematic with diabetics with leg ulcers.
Ulcers need to be kept covered with non adhesive sterile dressings and treated with medicines prescribed by doctor or nurse. They must be professionally checked regularly to monitor the healing status.
