Yes you need to seen as soon as possible to why you developed this “ulcer “ Ulcer to the lower extremities are serious. See your family doctor immediately and a podiatrist to help with the ulcer care

Always a good idea, specifically in the context of having no explanation for its appearance, such as trauma/ pressure, etc. Starting with your primary care doc will be best.
