This looks pretty serious I'm afraid. I would be worried that this is a a cancer. You will need to take her to a vet for an exam. There is no way around that. This clinic in you area does $15 exams - they can tell you better what may be going on after they examine her in person. Then you can talk about your options. In the meantime, you can apply this topical wound spray gel (linked below) to hopefully help soothe the skin. http://www.sosohio.org/services-pricing/ https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-cat-wound-and-skin-hydrogel
