An ulcer (from Latin ulcus) is an open sore of the skin, eyes or mucous membrane, often caused, but not exclusively, by an initial abrasion and generally maintained by an inflammation, an infection, and/or medical conditions which impede healing. In other words, it is a macroscopic discontinuity of the normal epithelium (microscopic discontinuity of epithelium is called erosion). Other causes of skin ulcerations include pressure from various sources and venous insufficiency.

Its LIKE a rupture or sore in your stomach...When you eat greasy foods or anything fried it really hurts it let untreated it can become very serious. When its more serious you can't keep food down and you're constantly vomiting. All you have to do is change your diet & visit the doc. and you should be fine.

I think it's a ruptured stomach. I might have one of those.
