Itchy Cat=white ,scaly skin! ewwww!~

I have a cat who is about 15 or 16 weeks old. We recently took him to the vet for itchy skin, after we found out the mom from his litter had mites. We treated him for mites ourselves with the dip and ear drops. It helped a little. We got him kitty anti itch wipes from the pet store. Only helped a little too. We took him to the vet and the Dr said he didn't see any mites on our kitty. He took skin samples and tested them. He said the cat may have allergies or just sensitive skin. The dr gave him an anti itch shot and some antibiotics. They helped for a while~ He is very itchy and always leaves beheind dandruff and dry skin where he lays down. We're thinking that this may be causing us to itch too. We try to vacuum often, but it doesn't matter. I have little red itchy bumps all over my tummy, and my sister recently came over, and she has them ALL OVER! What the heck is wrong with my cat????!
I also recently gave him a bath with hypo allergenic cat and dog shampoo. It is supposed to have anti itch properties. I hope it helps some.

Hi Punknpeaches.
As a side note, Tea Tree Oil supposedly has anti-fungal properties, so I've been using it on Tasha's ringworm and it *appears* to be going away (fingers crossed!!!)
