      1. Peptic

      This type is also known as stress ulcer, begins inside the stomach lining. The position is on top of the small intestine. Hence, one can develop it if too much acid damages the wall. Also, it can start from infection from bacteria called H. pylori. Likewise, taking painkillers for a long time can cause it. There are different kinds of peptic ulcer.

      • Gastric- it is found on the lining of the stomach
      • Duodenal- it is at the small intestine
      • Esophageal- located in the esophagus

      Gastric ulcer signs are, most of the time a burning pain and other such as:

      • Heartburn
      • Vomiting
      • Bloating
      • Weight loss
      • Chest pain

      Moreover, the best cure is according to its cause. If it comes from bacteria, the doctor will give antibiotics. In case it comes from taking medication, then the doctor will give you a drug that can prevent the build-up of acid.

      2. Arterial

      Furthermore, it is a sore that you can find outside the ankle. For instance, on the toes, feet, and heels are some. A person can have it if blood does not reach tissues on this part of the body. Also, the healing time may take longer for about a month or more. Some of the signs are:

      • Sores (red, black, or yellow)
      • Leg pain
      • Cold parts
      • No hair on the skin

      The best for this type of ulcer depends on its cause. However, if lack of blood supplies, it needs to be restored. Doctors may suggest surgery. Also, taking medicine may help cure the signs. Unfortunately, serious cases may need amputation of the body part.

      3. Venous

      Moreover, it is on the leg which is an open wound. One can find it just below the knee and inner part of the ankle. Also, it starts because of damage of the veins from lack of blood flow going back to the heart. Hence, it will not give you any pain. However, the infection may cause it to be painful. Some of the signs are:

      • Itchiness
      • Swelling
      • Scabbing
      • Discharge

      Furthermore, the healing process is long that may take a month before you have complete healing. However, some cases may not heal ever. The treatment is focused on improving the blood flow to the area. Also, taking medicine can lessen signs. Worse cases can lead to surgery.

      4. Mouth

      The other name is canker sore. Also, some associate it with stress ulcers. Stress can take down the immune system. Therefore, bacteria may grow and cause mouth sore. In the mouth area, causes are:

      • Biting
      • Hard brushing
      • Allergy
      • Hormonal changes
      • Illnesses
      • Lack of nutrients
      • Infection from bacteria

      Moreover, it is easiest to cure, but it may be the most painful. Commonly, people with it experience a hard time eating. In case of a very painful sore, it is better to talk to your doctor. Also, if it does not go away after two weeks, then look for proper treatment. 

      Other serious signs are:

      • Slow to heal
      • Sore on the lips
      • Fever
      • Inability to eat or drink
      • Diarrhea

      5. Genital

      It is mostly located in the private parts and caused by sexually transmitted infections. However, some may come from trauma or allergy to products. Other signs to look out for are:

      • Bumps
      • Redness
      • Pain
      • Itching
      • Fever
      • Swelling of the groin

      The same as other, treatment depends on its main cause. Some may go away without treatment. However, if it is from STI, then the doctor will give you an antibiotic and ointment. Therefore, the best way to handle it is to ask for the best treatment from your doctor. 

      Ulcers can be very uncomfortable and sometimes life-threatening for serious cases. Therefore, make sure to ask for professional help and take action immediately.
