another question - dr kini

i also had a small 2nd degree burn on thigh a month ago. do burns cause peptic ulcers?  I am still suspecting the aspirin i took for 2 weeks is the culprii but want to make sure.  Also the dr gave me prescription carafate and told me to take 2 over the counter prilosec pills each day
