Hi Kim
I don't think Advantage protects against mite infestation. You'll need ivermectin injections or spot-on treatment.
A sore chin could mean teeth problems. Badly aligned teeth causes dribbling, and dribbling causes dermatitis.
A few flakey patches where the ears meet the head is normal, especially in lops where it's more visible.
