Spray or shampoo?

[Imapsomom]

Doc proscribed CLobex foam for a few days on the scalp. Pharmacist (Chemist to most of you) said there isn't a foam, so I have to choose between shampoo and spray. Whats the difference? Is there one more terrible than the other, or more effective?

The foam can be used anywhere on your body
