It is ok if you have been prescribed methotrexate for any skin ailment,but in such cases wealso advise for a folic acid 10mg tab daily.
It is quite normal that methotrexate causes folic acid deficiency in our body and hence the symptoms.
Please also get your vit b12 checked before consulting your physician.
hope this helps.
welcome for further queries & take care
