Ouch, poor Wan! Skin rashes can be caused by a number of things including bacterial infections, fungus, yeast, metabolic issues, food and environmental allergies and more. If the cream you're using isn't working, it is a good idea to bring Wan back to the vet for another exam. Your vet may recommend a skin scraping of the affected area to figure out the underlying cause, or may recommend blood work to check for metabolic issues causing the skin changes. From there, your vet can prescribe additional medications or medicated shampoos. Keeping Wan from licking and chewing the area with an Elizabethan (cone) collar is best to prevent further irritation.
