Should be fine: The good news is that area has fantastic blood supply and so healing will occur rapidly. Inflammation (red, hot, tender swelling) is the body increasing the blood flow to the injury to bring healing factors to the area and also the veins expand to carry bad stuff away. That medicine should cause no real damage. Avoid further trauma to the area, protect it and let nature take it's course.
