Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, thank you for posting your query. I understand your query. Advantage has active ingredient of Methylprednisolone acetate commonly used to treat redness, swelling, crusting. It can be safely used over affected area for up to 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. Regards
