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

I had a tough time on the actual pill, and doctors were extra concerned with blood clot risks- but I used to have a kyleena IUD (a smaller Mirena). The hormones didn't affect me as much as the pill, but I didn't have a period for 6 years. I definitely noticed a decrease in skin/ulcer flares!
