Cause, Cause, Cause.: An ulcer on the bottom of the foot can be caused by several conditions. The ankle rolling is only one of them. A thorough evaluation as to the cause of the ankle condition as well as any possible metabolic conditions that may be contributing to the ulcer formation has to be explored. Sometimes, just simply wearing a boot may not be enough to effectively treat the condition.
