Why are my cat's chronic skin sores not healing and he's vomiting?

Question

My cat has sores on his body (including his testicles) he has had them for around 6 months and they still haven't healed. He is also throwing up once a week. We have took him to the vets many times and they don't know what it is but they keep giving antibiotics and shampoo which we have used but hasn't worked. What could be wrong with him? The pictures attached are what the sores look like he has more but I can only attach up to three pictures. Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 5 months old | 8 lbs

Your cat could have allergies and these are commonly seen in cats that are vomiting or have skin issues like this. He may need to be on allergy medication like steroids, or benefit from a strict prescription food allergy diet trial with a food like Royal Canin hypoallergic or Hills z/d.
