Yes, Protopic ointment can be used on the scalp, as long as the dermatologist has made such a recommendation. However, it should be remembered that due to the oily base of the preparation, its application in hairy areas may be difficult and cause hair sticking, which can be uncomfortable for patients.
It is important to apply a thin layer of the drug only to the affected areas, avoiding exposure of the skin to UV radiation (sun, solarium) during the treatment. If you find the ointment too bothersome to use on your scalp, please consult your doctor to consider switching to a lighter formulation, such as a liquid or solution with another active substance.
