My cat's skin problem came back after antifungal cream. What's wrong?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 14 lbs

I’m wanting to know what this might be. I have taken her to her vet and they told me they didn’t know. Gave me an anti fungal cream. Applied it and it went away, only for it to come right back. I’ve tried to google what it could be since my vet couldn’t really tell me, but no such luck.

If it went away with the antifungal cream and returned when you stopped the cream, it's probably a fungal infection of some sort. It can take a very long time to fully clear those up, so she may need a much longer course of treatment or even oral medication.
