Linear scleroderma: I don't want to have a deformed face. It's not visible unless I raise my brows. Botox? (Photos)

Is this linear scleroderma in its early stages? I suspect I have scleroderma because ever since I started working at qt, I had to get in the coolers and after 3 months my hands would get stiff etc. I looked it up and seemed like scleroderma. But lately I noticed this weird vertical line whenever I would raise my forehead. I've looked up linear scleroderma and it looks horrible, I don't want to have a deformed face. It's not visible unless I raise my brows.
