How can you stop a cat from gnawing & licking its underarms? it makes its skin infection worse. any remedies?

my cat, mocing, had food allergy. then she developed skin infection in its underarms which started about 7 months ago. we consulted 3 veterenarians already. the latest prescribed an anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal %26amp; anti-bac all-in-one cream (imflammol). although the skin problem is improving (there are fine hairs growing already) it never gets totally cured cause she keeps on gnawing and licking the wound evrytime her collar is removed which results to bleeding. the skin lesion is reddish. and wet sometimes. i dont know if it is itchy thats why my cat keeps licking the wound. is there any remedy to stop her from doing that? i really dont know what to do anymore. i just want my cat to live a normal life--without a collar. pls help.. thanks...

Need to use the collar until it's completely healed - sorry I know you didn't want to hear that. But once it's completely heaked it'll be right, by removing it too soon you're just perpetuating the problem.
