    Correct answer:

    Yes, it's cutaneous anthrax.

    Anthrax is a rare infection with Bacillus anthracis, which can cause three types of disease: pulmonary, gastrointestinal and cutaneous anthax. The first two forms are practically always fatal. Cutaneous anthrax can present with a painless, necrotic ulcer like in this case.
