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:
