Part of ulcer is extremely red (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cerise

'red' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'part of ulcer is extremely' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'CERISE' can be found hidden inside 'ulcer is extremely'.

(Other definitions for cerise that I've seen before include "Bright cherry-red colour" , "Vivid reddish-pink" , "Pinkish red" , "Light purplish red" , "'E cries at the colour red" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
