A persistent ulcer needs to be evaluated and treated. It should be cultured to see if it's any sort of an infection. If it is, it needs therapy. If the culture is negative, it should be removed under local anesthetic and analyzed to see exactly what it is. It may all fixed up by either antibiotic therapy OR ecxcision.

Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
