Is methotrexate effective at treating scleroderma? why is folic acid also prescribed? does scleroderma cause numbness in the face?

Scleroderma can cause many symptoms. Methotrexate is one of many treatments used for it. It is an autoimmunity drug and folic acid might be added for possible deficiency. Always ask these question of your prescriber
