Cat keeps licking wound; any suggestions?

Hi All,

My cat (Jazz) has some raised lesions on his front leg. We took him to the vet and he was given an antibiotic shot. They said to put Neosporin on the leg and put "the collar of shame" on him. Well, I tried the collar but he looked so uncomfortable and he could not sleep in his favorite position. I felt so bad I took the collar off.

Does anyone know an alternative? I have searched the internet and everything has such mixed reviews. I need to help him, but don't want a stressed out kitty.

I feel so bad, I feel like I am letting him down.
