Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. It unusual to have an ulcer going on like this for week together. I put forth these possibilities -
1. It could be of tuberculous origin if the edges are undermined or
2. A virulent organism which is under treated or
3. A local collection of pus which is surfacing time and again
4. It could be immunodeficiency
I suggest you consult your paediatrician with these tips. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
