    TLDR Spray B was most effective in reducing bacteria on dog hair.
    The study investigated the residual antibacterial activity of canine hair treated with four different topical antimicrobial sprays against Staphylococcus pseudintermedius. Twelve dogs with no dermatological disease were treated, and hair samples were collected and tested over 10 days. The results showed significant differences in bacterial growth inhibition, with spray B (2% miconazole nitrate, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate, TrizEDTA) producing the largest inhibition zones, followed by sprays D, C, and A. All sprays demonstrated residual activity for the entire 10-day period. The study concluded that the efficacy of antimicrobial sprays depends on the concentration and combination of active ingredients, which could be beneficial for treating canine pyoderma.

      Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.

      A user experienced worsening hair recession after adding 0.5 mg daily dutasteride to their regimen of topical minoxidil and finasteride, despite no initial shedding. They plan to continue monitoring the situation, as others suggest it may be too early to see results and recommend blood tests to check DHT levels.
