I think you mean 'ulcer' and i have had one. What is it like, well that depends where it is. There are many locations and types of ulcer e.g. peptic (stomach ulcer) and ulcer that develope externally, visable on your skin. To say general what it is like well it is a painful tender sore that doesn't heal for an extended period of time or perhaps never, i would say it would be rather irratating and as i have said painful.. and it is.

Haemophilia or hemophilia is the name of any of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to control bleeding. Genetic deficiencies (or, very rarely, an autoimmune disorder) cause lowered plasma clotting factor activity so as to compromise blood-clotting; when a blood vessel is injured, a scab will not form and the vessel can continue to bleed excessively for a very long period of time. The bleeding can be external, if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut or abrasion, or it can be internal, into muscles, joints or hollow organs. It might therefore present visibly as skin bruises, or subtly as melena, hematuria, or bleeding in the brain.

Of course. You get to see them by the hundreds, in an unattended foot or hand ulcer in beggars in India and Pakistan.\n\nI've personally poured hydrogen peroxide to draw these buggers out, wash the ulcer off with ethanol, clean the wound, and bandage it.... only 3 months later, they come back with the same problem, since... well, the quality of life of a beggar doesn't improve within 3 months.

Ulcers bleed because they are holes in the lining of your stomach. Depending on the severity of the ulcer your doctor may put you on meds or perform surgery.

It usually is found in the legs and it basically just swelling. A lot of diabetics tend to get it. Keep the area well overed as ulcers may lead to infection and/or amputation. Hope everything is ok

I think this will help you.\n\n\nWhile the word ulcer can refer to any type of sore or lesion that won't heal, in common usage it typically refers to peptic ulcers, very painful lesions that form in the stomach or intestine. For years, even centuries, ulcers were believed to be caused by stress and/or particular kinds of food and were considered a chronic condition. That is, it was thought that you couldn't 'cure' ulcers, you just had to manage them with antacids, diet - eating only bland food, for example - and lowering your stress levels. The classical stereotype of the overworked Type-A manager would depict him getting off the phone and reaching for antacids as he clutched his midsection. "Oh, my ulcer," he would moan, an indication that the phone call had just contributed to his stress.\n\nBecause the stomach is a highly acidic environment, it was thought that bacteria simply couldn't live there for long. However, in 1982, Robin Warren, an Australian pathologist, proved that patients with chronic ulcers also had colonies of bacteria inhabiting their stomach. Barry Marshall, of the University of Western Australia, took this finding and, working with Warren, located and identified the bacterium in question, which they named Helicobacter pylori.\n\nTheir findings were so contradictory to prevailing conventional wisdom that their work got very little notice, even though it promised a permanent cure to stomach ulcers. In a dramatic display of the validity of their findings, Dr. Marshall deliberately infected himself with Helicobacter pylori and gave himself ulcers, which were then cured by a round of antibiotic treatment. Still, it took the next two decades to overthrow long-held beliefs on the treatment of ulcers, and you will find many laymen today who believe that ulcers are chronic and incurable. In October 2005, Warren and Marshall were awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine, in recognition for their groundbreaking work in the treatment of stomach ulcers.

Cancer is not strictly hereditary, but genetics does play a part, and the size of the part it plays varies from one kind of cancer to another.\nCancer is in fact body cells growing out of control, which is triggered when enough mutations of the cells have accumulated. Mutations may be caused by carcinogens, which are various things that can lead to cancer, for example tobacco, radioactive substances, hepatitis B virus. Mutations occur in our bodies every day, and that is why our body cells die every day to lower the possibility that they accumulate enough mutations to become cancerous.\nHowever mutations in germ cells (the reproductive cells like ova and sperms) may be given to offsprings. This means that offsprings now have more mutations to start with, and so easier to accumulate enough mutations to have cancer. Hence, we can see clustering of various types of cancers in families, such as colorectal cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer. (but lung cancer may also be due to second hand smoke from one family member that smokes)\nEven though cancer is not classified as a hereditary disease (contrary to cystic fibrosis, colour blindness etc), genetics does play a part in the development of cancer.

Mouth ulcers are caused by many disorders. These include canker sores, leukoplakia, gingivostomatitis, or al cancer, or al lichen planus, or al thrush, herpes simplex, and other disorders. The skin lesion of histoplasmosis may also appear as a mouth ulcer.

There are two main reasons for mouth ulcers \n1. Vit B Complex Deficiency\n2. Allergic reaction\n\nIf you have a chronic problem of mouth ulcers try taking Vit B capsules. For symptomatic relief use some anesthetic mouth gelly e.g Lignocain gelly.\n\nIf the ulcer in your mouth is due to some irritant e.g spices etc - try to avoid that particular stuff.

having a positive family history increases your chances,but this does not mean that you'll have cancer for sure.\nthe only hereditary case is familial polyposis,which is a massive number of polyps in the intestines,that will turn into a colon cancer in 100% of the cases.and the bad thing about it that it is familial.\nonce you find it in a member of a family,you have to screen the rest.

Have you talked to your doctors? If you have liver problem you may want to cut down your cigarettes and alchohol. No fried food. If you cannot eat fresh fruits, how about cooked or steamed vegetables? One of the causes of mouth ulcers could be vitamin B2 deficiency. But there are other causes, too. Check with your doctor.  Coconut oil is not good. Olive oil is better. Egg white is OK. Egg yolk is for babies and children. Cream milk is not good.
