is it morphea? is it reversable?

When I was 10(2009) I started to notice depressed dark points in my back (like a line, vertical) , a Dermatologist just gave me a cream to "fill them in" without telling me what it was. Then when I was 13-14 years old they started to be more depressed and darker and they started to spread in the upper side of my back and then only to my right shoulder, my arm and my hand. I went to a rheumatologist and he gave me 1)Methotrexate (MTX)
2) cell cept (mycophenolic acid) I think. 3) vitamins and 4)rosuvastatin. Without telling me what it was. He even ordered a biopsy and it showed fibrosis. I took the medicine for a year and a half because I went abroad and I didn't want to damage my kidneys for something I wasn't sure. Then I did some research I go to two other doctors and they told me that I had morphea, no cure, don't know the reason why, etc. But I really want other opinions, what should I do? I don't like how much skin looks, but I don't want a strong treatment for something that it's not even certain. Right now I'm 18 years old, a female student in Mexico. Excuse my English and my spelling mistakes. Thank you so much for your time and reading it. I really appreciate it.
Postdata: I could send you images of some parts of my skin.
