About a month and a half ago I noticed a white spot on the top of my outdoor cat's behind, I let it go because I thought the hair was just pushed around. About a week later I noticed the spot got a little larger. For about another week I watched my cat and the spot. I didn't notice him overly gnawing scratching himself, but the spot got a little bigger and a few other spots on the side of his hip started appearing. And when I try to get a close look at it and touch it, he either moves, growls or runs away. I took him in to his veterinarian and she told me he was getting bitten by fleas since she saw a FEW on him. She told me to put some Advantage on him and it would get better. Although it has only been a week since I put the Advantage on him, I am still concerned because not only is it not getting better, but it is getting progressively worse. Plus, I have not noticed any fleas of him or my other cat.
Additional Info:
His mood isn't changing, but he has pooped a few times on the carpet in various corners of the house, and once right in front of my boyfriend.
What do you think it could be, and what should I do?
Here are some pics of the spots:
Spot above his tail on his bottom
Spots of his side and leg
Overall of the spots of his side
