Hello Abhay and welcome.
If this ulcer is indeed an ulcer and is recurrent, it would be best to check her blood sugar levels as this can be a complication of a condition called diabetes. If not an ulcer relating to this could be numerous other conditions like eczema, etc.
I would advise a consultation with a dermatologist as well.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
