Tummy tuck induced ulcer

I assume you mean a stomach ulcer and not a skin ulcer. There is no known causation in the fo rmer and the latter may be due to decreased sensation in the lower abdomen.

A tummy tuck can cause an ulcer

Yes, it a possibility but very unlikely for this relationship to occur. Please seek medical attention from a gastro MD in your area. From MIAMI DR. B
