Cat wound

My cat (6 year old male) has a wound above his eye. I noticed it about 3 weeks ago after it had already started to scab over. I put a cone on him until the scab fell off and it looked healed. I took the cone off and within a few hours it was bleeding again. I put the cone back on him and waited again for it to heal. Yesterday I took it off, I even waited an extra few days after it had healed. Within 12 hours he had it bleeding again. So the cone is back on. I’m not sure what to do moving forward. I’ll add pictures from when I first noticed it

Hi  - from visuals only, I wondered whether Ringworm could be involved; it may be worth trying to rule out, especially given the implications for human health / contact with immunocompromised people.  Another non-itchy cause might be demodex.  The history, however, may suggest something itchy;  an aural foreign body, ear / head pain / eye pain or otitis.  We used to say 'ear infection,' but actually most itchy ('otitis') ears aren't infected - just irritated / inflamed and therefore prone to being scratched - and if that's where the claw happens to catches on scratching, then secondary issues, such as superficial infection or removal of skin in that area, may be common.  Less likely, but one can't rule out things such as cancers.   Itchy skin is frustrating because they seem as if it should be easy problems to solve, but actually it is complex;  there is the damage to the ear (the secondary effect) but then there is the cause e.g. allergies or pain.   We would recommend that you to persist in visiting the vets, repeatedly, as required and let them know that you are interested in getting to the bottom of the cause.  If you do (get to the bottom of the cause in this case), please would you let us know?

VERY SIMILAR, BUT EDITTED FOR GRAMMAR AND CLARITY       Hi  - from visuals only, I wondered whether Ringworm could be involved; this may be worth trying to rule out, especially given the implications for human health.  Another non-itchy cause might be demodex.  The history, however, might suggest something itchy;  possibilities include an aural foreign body, or pain to the ear, head, even teeth / jaw.   Another common possibility may be otitis.  We used to say 'ear infection,' but actually most itchy ('otitis') ears aren't infected - just irritated / inflamed and therefore prone to being scratched - and if the claw happens to catch the skin, then secondary issues such as superficial infection or removal of skin, may be common.  Furthermore, one can't rule out cancers from here.   Itchy skin is frustrating because it seems as if it should be an easy problem to solve, but actually it is complex;  there is the damage to the ear (the secondary effect) and then there is the cause e.g. allergies or pain.   We would recommend that you to persist in visiting the vets and let them know that you are interested in getting to the bottom of the case.  If you do (get to the bottom of the cause in this case), please would you let us know?
