I have noticed rapid hairloss over the past 8 months. After trying Propecia for two months, I have seen no improvement. I am an avid swimmer and wanted to know if swimming and exposing my hair to chlorine has any effect on the hairloss?
Swimming and chlorine in the pools will not produce hair loss.
Two months on Propecia is not enough. To get benefits that you might be able to see, it takes a good 8 months. Of course, that implies that hair will regrow, but this drug works well to arrest hair loss which will not show anything that the eye can see except the hair loss will slow or stop. Try to understand the difference as it is all in the expectations. I always tell people that if they are under 40, they can almost always assume that the Propecia is working to slow or stop the hair loss. Stay the course for your own good.
