Hello Anon

Thank you for writing,

This question depends on the cause of the ulcer. If it's is caused by footwear or overuse, then better shoes and less demanding tasks on the foot may help clear things up. But if you have these ulcers due to diabetes or some other underlying health condition, you will need to see your doctor. Please seek medical advice.
Best,
Susan
