Brief Answer:
Steroids indicated if ulcers caused by autoimmune etiology

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
Ideally, no. Steroids are not used for ulcers.
However, if the doctor feels that the cause of the ulcers is autoimmune, the steroid is indicated.
I hope that answers you.
Best of luck.
