What happens during the disease - chronic ulcer of skin, not elsewhere classified

Chronic ulcer of skin, not elsewhere classified, is a condition in which the skin does not heal properly and develops an ulcer that persists for an extended period of time. this is usually caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and impairs the skin's ability to heal, as well as poor circulation, which can impede the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the affected area. in addition, a poor immune response to infection or trauma can lead to the development of chronic ulcers.
