I'm a bit confused about how to use the propysalic nf lotion that was prescribed for my scalp condition. Should I be applying it just to my scalp, or is it okay to get some on my hair too? I'm not sure since I have medium length hair and don't want to do it wrong. Could you clarify how I should be applying it?

Propysalic NF lotion is a topical treatment for scalp conditions like psoriasis, dandruff, or seborrheic dermatitis. Application Instructions 1. Wash your hair: Before applying the lotion, wash your hair with a mild shampoo. 2. Towel-dry: Gently towel-dry your hair, making sure it's not soaking wet. 3. Apply to scalp: Use the lotion only on your scalp, avoiding the hair shafts as much as possible. 4. Massage gently: Massage the lotion into your scalp using your fingertips. 5. Leave it on: Leave the lotion on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour, before rinsing. Tips for Medium-Length Hair 1. Section your hair: Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to apply the lotion to your scalp. 2. Use a scalp massager: A scalp massager can help you apply the lotion more evenly and massage it into your scalp. 3. Avoid over-applying: Be careful not to apply too much lotion, as this can weigh your hair down and make it greasy.
