Hi MrsO, pitting of the nail plate can be caused by a few different nail conditions that all have very similar symptoms (for example, eczema and psoriasis of the nail). My advice, as a nail technician, would be that you show this to your doctor or dermatologist and get a proper diagnosis, as nails often reflect underlying medical conditions going on in the body (and it may or may not be related to your eczema). Your GP or dermatologist will need to determine what is causing this, as well as give you advice on how to treat or manage it.
A nail strengthening treatment (like IBX) may help with the weak, flaking nails, but ideally, you need to treat the cause as well.

There is nothing wrong with putting gel polish on pitted nails to disguise them once a medical diagnosis has been done. I say this simply because some of the chemicals used during nail prep may make whatever is causing the pitting worse.
If it is eczema related, you might have a flare-up from the gel polish remover, acetone or alcohol based products used during nail prep, prior to the gel polish application.

Have you tried Blackmore's Hair Skin and Nails supplement ?
I'm taking it now, my nails have improved but they aren't as troublesome as yours sound! I tried one with marine collagen and it gave me burps so went back to this one. It's taken some weeks to be noticeable but thats to be expected by the slowness of nails. I have less problematic skin also, since taking it.

One of my previously flakey nails has actually stopped flaking. I've got one with a big ridge that I'm really hoping will grow out and stay out. I might even be able to use polish if I keep up the treatment.
Shop around for cheapest price as it can be anywhere from $13 to $21 for 1 month worth, and that's quite a big difference!

The times when I've had the strongest nails have been when I've been eating lots of veggies, particularly cruciferous ones and leafty greens. I have eczema on my hands too so I have to wear gloves whenever I wash dishes or cook a meal or hand wash laundry. I haven't been able to completely get rid of eczema it at times, although a thick barier cream does bring some relief and a medical ointment. I've also avoid using really hot water to wash my hands or shower and no longer use freshly boiled water for dishes. I also avoid heavily fragranced hand creams and stick to more gentler and unfragranced ones, especially when I have a bout of eczema or just go with Oasis Beauty Rhino Repair. I hope you find something that helps.
