Need help with fingernails

I am new to this site. I was diagnosed with alopecia eleven years ago. For the most part I was getting injections in my eyebrows but in the past year I have lost all the hair on my head and all eyelashes. Recently I have seen my fingernails deteriorate. they are brittle, with nail pitting. All of them look awful. I have been taking biotin since April and have not seen positive results. The dermatologist gave me cream but that has not worked. Does anyone have advice? I am very self conscious about the nails.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thanks and I am glad I found this site.
