Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain hairfall can occur due to a number of causes like:

-Telogen Efluvium caused by fungal infection,nutritional deficiency, stress, long standing illness, side effects of medicines..

-Androgenic Aloepecia cused due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones and genetics..

As you are taking Evion that is vitamin E and Gcstab that is Vitamin D supplement it will help in reducing hairfall but if hairfall is severe you should get evaluated for the exact cause and proper treatment has to be taken..

You should consult a Trichologist and get evaluated and he can advise you investigations like hormonal assy, blood tests, trichogram, dermoscopy to rule out the exact cause of the problem and treat you accordingly..

You can be advised to apply 5% Minoxidil lotion over the scalp as it helps in improving blood flow over scalp and reduce hairfall..
You can be advised to take Biotin and multivitamin supplements..
You can also be advised to take Finesteride orally if there is androgenic aloepecia as it suppresses androgens..
You should massage the scalp with warm coconut oil..
You should take a nutritious diet and drink plenty of water..
You can also discuss about platelet rich plasma and Mesotherapy..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
