No, the above preparations are not intended for use on the scalp. The use of ointments and creams on the scalp carries an increased risk of folliculitis.
If in doubt, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. It is the doctor who decides on the possible treatment of the patient, m.in. on the basis of the patient's medical history and previous response to treatment. Only the doctor can decide whether to change the pharmacotherapy. If you are unable to get to your primary care physician, the gdziepolek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor:
1 Wash & Conditioner
But if you have a problem with this, I recommend starting with the Psorisel liquid. Calmly, one wash is enough for me and the conditioner is necessary. Because it also emulsifies and washes off such spreads nicely
And do they easily wash off your head? Do you have to wash it off many times?
Squamax and dermovate or alternately with Psorisel. Zero psoriasis for years. I do the treatment as soon as something reds. I've been doing this treatment every few weeks for 20 years. This way I never have psoriasis on my head
And does anyone have psoriasis on their head? How do you treat?

For scalp psoriasis, in addition to shampoos, topical preparations containing corticosteroids or vitamin D3 analogues are effective. Prescription drugs often include:
Belosalic (betamethasone + salicylic acid), which has anti-inflammatory and exfoliating properties

Daivobet (calcipotriol + betamethasone), which combines anti-inflammatory and regulating the processes of epidermal keratosis.

If the lesions are severe, the dermatologist may also recommend the use of Clobex (clobetasol) – a powerful corticosteroid.
