Below are 2 links that I posted about Hermes when he had his scalp issues. The other day Hermes cut himself open again on his head. Last night when I got off work he made his mark bigger. We spent over $600 with surgerys this year on him repairing this work and now he scratched himself again.
I don't know what to do for him. I have a call into the vets but they are doing an emergency surgery right now so hopefully soon I'll hear something from them.
Below I typed the results from his biopsy that they took of his right face. All I can figure out is that he's allergic to something but we don't give him any people food and he's not allowed milk anymore so I'm not sure if it's something with the C/D food that he eats sometimes when he's in the bedroom or not.

Clincial History
5 by 10 cm hairless area on right face
Microscopic Description
Examination of he submitted tissue reveals a section of haired skin. The dermin is lightly inflitrated with imflammatory cells. Inflammatory cells aggregate about dermal blood vessals and the adnexal structures. The inflitrate consists of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and small numbers of eosinophils. The basal epidermis exhibits mild sponginosis.
Diagnosis
Mild Perivascular Periadnexal Dermatitis
Comments
The skin exhibits mild deratitis. A cause for this is not observed. The patter suggests allergic dermatitis. Mites, dermatophytes, and Malassezia are not observed. The history indicates that this area is hairless, but most of the hair follicles contain hair shaft. The cat may be traumatizing the area and breaking the hair off.
