Become an open sore (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ulcerate

(Other definitions for ulcerate that I've seen before include "Erupt into sores" , "Become affected by open sores -- late cure (anag)" , "Form open sore" , "Become inflamed and infected" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
