Manage it: Classic hemochromatosis is easy to manage with phlebotomy and you should be sure it's well-controlled when you're on Methotrexate for something else, as this medication is rough on your liver. Both dermatology and rheumatology specialists should be participating in your long-term care. Your prognosis today is much better than in the past ; you may be a candidate for a biotech therapy.

Wary of methotrexate: I am personally wary of using Methotrexate in an individual who already has significant liver disease. Ask your rheumatologist if a tnf med could be a better choice.
