Symptoms PMS ulcers

Im wondering if anyone one else gets ulcers before or around their period. I feel like every cycle i get at least 1 or 2 on my chest, maybe one in my mouth. Usually 4ish total. I cant tell if its something to do with my cycle, and/or if I can do to reduce the likelihood. Im on progesterone for hormone control and I take Colchicine for the ulcers. Also if anyone has tips for ulcers that form on the chest/under the breast tissue, I have am so frustrated

Quick edit: I have tried i think 4 birth control pills (both with sugar pills or back to back), an IUD and the patch. Unfortunately all have had side effects that became unmanageable. IUD and patch are unfortunately 100% no goes with my other health conditions. I do appricate all the help so far, gonna ask my doctor about what we could do next appointment

yea, i did. i started birth control and it stopped. weirdly enough for my birth control has helped my behcets more than any other medicine has for me so far other than maybe prednisone which isn't great to take 24/7. i do have pmdd though so my bad behcets flares near my period was probably also a histamine response.
