Hello,
Welcome to HCM, thank you for posting your query.
I understand your query. Advantan has active ingredient of Methylprednisolone aceponate commonly used to treat redness, swelling, crusting. It can be safely used over affected area for upto 12 weeks in adults unless they develop side effects like thinning of skin, purple patches or dilated veins over affected area.
Swelling will gradually subside.
Hope this information was helpful.
