Can be used

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

1% Permethrin topical can be used in all children above 2 months of age. It has to be applied once and then again after 14 days if itching and pruritis is present even after the first application. Occasionally children might complain of mild burning and it is normal.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
