Asked By:acurrie in Atlanta, GA

Why do you think I get these ulcers? What could it be that's eating the tissue away from my face? I am interested in a fat transfer but unsure if I should get one. My ulcer leaks puss and smells ( thinking infection) and it takes forever to heal. I also get swelling under my eyes. I have a vegan diet and was told to overdose on leafy greens. Please help!!
