Canker sores & eczema

While on Yaz and then Yasmin, from August until November, I had recurring bouts of canker sores (on tongue and inner mouth, not cold sores) and a type of eczema on my fingers called dyshydrosis. Could it have been a sensitivity/allergy to the DRSP? I stopped taking them and am now trying the NuvaRing. I had heard that canker sores can be affected by hormones, but I can't find much of anything to back that up.

Has anyone else had canker sores that seem to come before your period?

Thanks!
