My Ex used to use Knox Gelatin which I was told helps strengthen the nails. She never said that it did not help but then again she never said much to me anyway!!

I would suggest you change your diet, in a way that you can test your own reactions to certain foods.
I found that if I had too much milk, I got the small spots under my skin. Also oats, sugar,some fats and proteins can have the same effect.
