Continous licking

My mother in law, who is 85, has a cat that is about 5. A month ago, I took him to the vet for her because he had pulled all the fur off down his entire leg, which left red, inflamed skin. He was given a Depo shot, and a Dex shot, and was extremely lethargic after. There has been no improvement, and now the raw skin has traveled to his stomach. She feeds him Cat Chow (I know, its junk, but she won't change) but I doubt that could be causing it because he's been on it forever. I'm going to get him back to the vet this week, but would like to know if someone has had better luck with another med, so I could suggest it to the vet. He told her not to put anything on it, because he'll just lick it off.
