In Less than 12 years age children the studies were not conducted as it is uncommon in that age. Any way age is not a contraindication to use it. As it is a topical cream there won't be any side effects on the body. I think your dermatologist knows it better and have prescribed it. So you can use it.
Next Steps
if any abnormal symptoms are there contact your dermatologist at the earliest.
