It sounds like she has a dermatitis which could be from a skin infection, allergies, fleas, mites, etc. You could bathe her with a cat shampoo and see if that helps. If she has any fleas than she should be treated with a flea medication, like Revolution, Frontline, etc. She may also need an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory to help treat the problem so you could have your vet take a look at her. Once diagnosed, your vet can prescribe medications to help treat the problem.
