I hate to hear that Kitty is having the skin issues. I would recommend to leave the lesions alone and stop medicating for now. See if the systemic medications given by your vet heal the lesions. If these lesions persist, the vet may look for underlying allergies, thyroid issues or ringworm (which can have variable appearances). If Kitty is scratching at the lesions, then I would recommend that he wear an elizabethan collar to protect the area. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
