every once in a while i get small round pits on my fingernails...it looks like somebody took a pin and was poking the top of my fingernails...this is the longest it has lasted...does anyone have any idea what this could be??

Tiny pin-dot depressions in the nail plate are classic for psoriasis of the nails. I would check with your doctor/dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
