could anyone give me information on bechet's (behcet's) syndrome, or whatever it is i might have? my dermatologist diagnosed it as bechet's, but i've done a little research and i don't match all the diagnosis criteria.

i'm 15, i started my period when i was 13, and i'm not sexually active. periodically (under times of great stress) i get ulcers on my girly bits. i also get them in my mouth more frequently. my derm has me on prednisone and monodox, plus a topical cream to apply to the ulcers. when i was about two, i had a spinal tap because i had an extremely high fever and was in the hospital for a few days. my mommy thinks the two things are related. my mommy, her mother, and my older sister have asthma, and she thinks it may be a product of the genetic loading, showing itself in a different way. help, anyone? anything i could do to make it hurt less?

You're spelling it wrong. That's probably why you'd have a hard time finding it on the net. That link above is for a medical dictionary which will give you a basic idea of what it is. From there, the research will probably get easier. Good luck!
