Hi,
Please get your complete health check up to investigate for the severe weight loss. Need to check your blood sugar and get it in normal limits. Some antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug along with local antibiotic cream application after cleaning would help to heal the ulcer. Please consult a doctor for getting suitable medications in suitable dose.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
