The good thing is that you know when and why your outbreaks come.

You need to boost your immune system. Lead healthier lifestyle (no alcohol, no smoking, no exsessive sun), pay attention to what you eat and drink, especially a week before your period (as far as it's your "trigger"), take vitamins, avoid caffeine, try  pads instead of tampons, at least  the first day of your period and wear cotton underwear. Try to avoid stress as well. You need to help your body to meet  and fight it. If it doesn't help (but I hope it will), do not stop searching for another ways. There is something that will help. I'm sure of it.

P.S.

Your skin gets irritated due to friction and the skin should be clean, so I'm not sure about the pads. I think you can try to apply a little vaseline on the surface of the vagina while inserting tampons to avoid irritation.
