Scalp lotions and ointments containing medicinal agents are applied for what purpose?

Changing the hair texture
Cleansing the hair
Correcting a scalp condition
Encouraging alopecia

The correct answer is: Correcting a scalp condition

Scalp lotions and ointments containing medicinal agents are used specifically to correct any scalp conditions. Option A, changing the hair texture is incorrect because these products are focused on treating the scalp and not changing the appearance of the hair. Option B, cleansing the hair is incorrect because these products are not solely for cleansing, but rather treating a specific condition. Option D, encouraging alopecia is incorrect because alopecia is a medical condition that causes hair loss, so encouraging it would not be the desired result of using these products. Overall, the main purpose of scalp lotions and ointments is to treat scalp conditions, not for changing hair texture, solely cleansing, or encouraging hair loss.
