After a topical parasite treatment, the active ingredient sinks into the skin and starts killing fleas, ticks, and mites; you may see dead parasites drop off, and any itchiness, redness, or hair loss from bites should ease. Some products can irritate the skin or cause a reaction, which is usually mild and self-resolving, but see a vet if it's severe.
