Can my 8‑year‑old boy use Altris 5 Topical Solution, as he is having many white hairs?
Altris 5 Topical Solution 30 ml is not recommended for use in an 8 year old child for treating white hair, as no clear evidence or official guidance supports its safety or effectiveness in children of this age. Multiple white hairs in children are more commonly due to genetic factors or nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B12 or iron, rather than something that can be treated with topical solutions. Using such products may also irritate a child’s sensitive scalp. It is best to consult a paediatrician or a trichologist to evaluate the cause and guide safe, appropriate management.
