Stage | Findings |
|---|---|

A2 (active stage 2) | Mucus-coated ulcer with discrete margin and less oedema than active stage 1 |
H1 (healing stage 1) | Healing ulcer < 50% covered by regenerating epithelium with or without covering folds |
H2 (healing stage 2) | Ulcer with a mucosal break, but almost covered by regenerating epithelium |
S1 (scar stage 1) | Red scar with rough epithelialization and mucosal break(s) |
S2 (scar stage 2) | White scar with complete re-epithelialization |
