Skin ulcer disease usually affects the lower limb and upper limb with several causes including infection, blood vessel disorders and malignancy.Including these groups are:
- Ulcer neurotropic
- Ulcer Varicosis
- Ulcer arterial
- Ulcer tropicum
Ulcer Neurotropic
neurotrophic ulcer is a chronic ulcer that occurs inadvanced stages of some chronic systemicdisease, especially on the soles of the feet of an anesthetic. In Morbus Hansen often referred to mal perforans du pied.

Arterial ulcers
Arterial ischemic ulcer or ulcer disease is actually included in the arterial system in general. But the classification of the arterial system disease or peripheral vascular disease in some textbooks still no equality or unity of opinion. But the general classification by Rook is:
- Functional abnormalities.- vasoconstriction, eg Raynoud's disease, Raynoud's phenomenon, Akrosianosis
- Occlusive organic disorders:- Example: thromboangitis obliterans, Arteriosclerosis, Poliarteritis nodosa, arterial thrombosis, frosbite, strangulation tissue defects.
- Organic Non-occlusive disorders.- Example: aneurysm, hematoma, arteriovenus anastomosis, trauma, radiation.
The term ulcer tropicum has been used for variousskin diseases with a wound in the leg or foot ulcerscaused by various micro-organisms such assyphilis, yaws or pyoderma, vincent even get 2types of germs that simbiotic always in the legulcers in the tropics, namely: Basillus fusiformisand Borrelia vincentii (spirillum). Fuso patogenicspirillum is a cause that is often also come into play.
Among the various ulkul tropicum, the ulcer germ tropicum by fusosfirillum have specific properties, which are not owned by any other type of Tropical ulcers, especially as, the smell of ulcers, ulcers form, the characteristic like how easy transmission and eradicate. So actually by fusospirillum tropicum ulcer disease is a separate entity and to fulfill the Koch postulates, which means widening very quickly, it is more accurately called Ulcer Tropicum Fagedenicum (UTF).
Tropicum ulcer has similarities with can crum oris or Vincent's angina, particularly in the malnutrition in the tropics. Synonyms: phagedenica tropica, aden ulcer, ulcer malabar, and much more.
