Hi.
As per your case history you may be having physiological white spots on nails or Brittle nails due to multivitamin deficiency.
My treatment advice is -
1. Don't worry. It is curable disease.
2. Take balanced diet full of green leafy vegetables and milk
3.Take vitamin b 12 supplement 1500mcg daily once and vitamin d3 once a week.
4. Biotin is not of much need in your condition. So no need of it.
Thanks.
