General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Good day and thank you for posting this question. Yes, the chin rash is a side effect of Methotrexate. It will not be a wise thing to do if you just stop using it, talk to your doctor he might reduce the dose or slowly withdraw it and give you an alternative.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
