I've been using Trichoton Forte and it initially helped with my hair fall, but lately, it seems to be back again. I'm also oiling my hair three times a week, but nothing seems to be working long-term. What else can I try to stop the hair fall, or should I be worried about something else going on with my hair?

Hair fall can be due to various reasons.Hormonal,genetics ,stress,scalp conditions etc.if your hair fall is excessive consult a dermatologist or a trichologist to get more tailored treatments for your needs.
