white stretch marks - remedy?
I have had a few minor stretch marks on me for about 3 years now. They are from rapid weight loss due to stress (not sure if the reason for the marks matter or not?) They are all white and depressed and I am using external creams/scrubs etc. to lessen the appearance on the outside but as they are not just external scars I am thinking of trying some homeopathic remedies.The thing that worries me most is that my skin seems quite inelastic so I worry about developing more, and at the same time I would like to improve the ones I have already. I have been reading stuff on the internet (and this forum) which says that Thiosinaminum may be helpful in dissolving the existing scar tissue. However, I have also read that Calc. Fluor. may be helpful with increasing skin elasticity. If this is true, what kind of doses should I be using, and can they be used at the same time or not?
Also I read in a book from Boots the chemist that 6c should be used for old conditions and 30c for sudden and new conditions, but I don't want to spend loads of money on 6c if it requires me taking a lot of it...so I'd like people's advice on this.
Can anybody help me here please?! I am more concerned about the skin elasticity thing first, because prevention is the most important thing when it comes to stretch marks!
I'd be SO grateful if someone could help.
Thanks :o)

Calc Fluor. 6x Tissue Salt is good for tissue elasticity so no harm in taking. The tissue salts are available in most chemists/Boots. Thios is more for keloid scars, raised scars that don't flatten of their own accord.
No way of permanently getting rid of the white stretchmarks though, although they fade with time and moisturisation.

Thankyou both for your replies.
Carlotta - I am working on reducing the marks on the outside with exfoliation and rebuilding my skin using copper peptides, but I feel that I need something to increase my skin's elasticity in general anyway because sometimes my whole skin feels quite inflexible. I will look into Calc. Fluor. 6x
Dr Hasnaat I have sent you an email detailing my mental and physical symptoms. To summarise for anyone reading about stretch marks on this board: I feel that mine could have stemmed from a bad contraceptive pill upsetting my body's balance OR weight gain during the period on that new pill (I'm slim tall and slightly underweight but putting on weight got me to a 'normal' weight for my height). I think they may have worsened through a period of extreme stress that I suffered after I came off the contraceptive pill which had disagreed with me.
So a couple of the above things, or all of them.
Oh, also, I don't know if this is important or relevant but my marks are worse on the left hand side of my body.
