Xenex Spot On for mites

Has anyone used this? I thought Teddy had an early case of mites so I asked the vet's advice. They suggested this product and I bought it from them. I put one tube on him two weeks ago and another one yesterday, but the poor thing seems to have had a reaction. I noticed last night that he had a red patch on his skin where I had applied the spot-on. I washed it off him straightaway. Has anyone else had similar problems?
 
A few people have, you'd be better off using Ivermectin I think personally

You did well to spot it and wash it off :D

I'd ask your vet for some Ivermec, its usually a spot on the back of the neck (I think- not certain)

Hopefully someone else should be able to tell you more!
