It may be necessary to use a compounding pharmacy to use a anti-bacterial that will treat the ulcer. If he has been to a specialist I assume that the ulcer has been cultured and tested for susceptibility. If the proper antibiotics are being administered then a typical corneal ulcer should heal.
If the ulcer has been cultured and treated accordingly then there are other factors that are causing the ulcer. There is a possibility of the problem being caused by the Herpes Simplex virus or Ocular Cicatrical Pemphagoid.
Have your son see a corneal specialist, if that isn't one of the specialists he has seen. To give you a better answer I would need a fuller picture of the previous diagnosis's, cause of the ulcer and treatments that have been attempted already. Good luck with your son. I hope this helps.
