Is it safe to apply triamcinolone 0.1% ointment on my scalp?? will it get to brain cause problem or any other problem?

Yes.: No problem with applying triamcinolone to the scalp, but the ointment form will grease up your hair. Better to use a liquid, spray, or foam.

No.: If you think it can get to your brain through scalp it probably already has. This site is for legitimate questions only.
