What you are describing sounds like an allergy, which can lead to infections. In this case, controlling the allergies is important in order to keep the infection from returning. It's also possible that there is another problem like fleas, mites, or contact with a chemical, or substrate that is causing this. In order to narrow-down the cause, I would need to examine Cleo and get some more information. It's best to have your vet recheck him, because they will know more about his case and be able to better help you get this under control. I hope that helps and Cleo gets better soon.
