Brief Answer:
venous ulcer.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting the query to HCM,

I have gone through the attached image.

The ulcer looks like the venous ulcer. It could be due to the necrosed blood vessels.
Consult any surgeon and get the colour doppler of the affected leg. If the exact cause is not ruled out then it is very difficult to cure the wound just by superficial dressing.

Any query do follow up.
Take care.
