Ideally, Sissy should be examined by your veterinarian to rule out serious inflammatory conditions or infection. You can discuss a safe dose of Zyrtec with the vet if it seems to help. The fleas can be treated using a monthly topical preventative such as Revolution or Frontline. Treat her for 3 consecutive months, preferably year round. You will need to treat the environment as well. This means vacuuming everywhere she goes inside and washing all bedding. An area treatment such as Knockout ES can be used to prevent reinfestation indoors.
