Found this online for you:
Don't worry- the white spots on your fingernails are most likely to be caused by a mild zinc deficiency which can be easily corrected by taking a dietary supplement. Zinc is relatively safe and non-toxic so sensible levels of supplementation should do you no harm. I would advise 20-40mg of elemental zinc a day (available from chemists as zinc sulphate). It may take several weeks before any improvement is seen.

Hopefully this will answer the question. More info if you google - zinc "white spots"

Pitted nails is one of the symptoms of Psoriatic Arthritis. Mine have started improving at the moment and getting stronger. I have been in mTX for nearly 4 years now, so hopefully that is why. Ask your consultant if I were you.
