I have heard that methatrexate can cause a variety of skin eruptions.  I was going to go on it too, but after looking at all the side effects chickened out.  In your case, possibly the doctor can give you another medication that's similar to methatrexate with less side effects.

Hi. Thank you for answering my question. I've started methotrexate just now. So hopeful. All goes well and I'm fine with it. The Dr said if something happens that I'm not good with it then we'll try injection and if still not good then we'll try another method of medication. So fingers crossed. X
