My cat has a skin issue, no fur loss. What's wrong with him?

Question

Please help my cat has some skin problem which I tried to diagnose by taking him to the vet but he refused. He is not losing fur but skin condition is not normal. So I bathed him with an anti fungal and bacterial shampoo and applied some 3 mix antibiotic cream over his nose. The thing on his tail came off completely. Any idea what he is suffering from? Please give a specific answer. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 14 days old | 2.866 lbs

This could be due to a parasitic (lice or mites), fungal (ringworm) or a bacterial infection. Unfortunately, without testing (skin scrape and cytology), there is not way to give a definitive diagnosis or to recommend what treatment would be best. While antifungal and antibacterial shampoos can sometimes be helpful, some infections are more serious and require oral medications to resolve.
