We are taking the jacket off a couple times a week to let the skin air out and so that she can clean herself naturally, but this one spot is horrendous. There is some hydrocortisone on the area, and she was licking herself as I was snappjng these.

Well. I am no vet in this timeline, but perhaps she has cat eczema or at worst some type of cellulitis(?) :/

What does the vet say?

Seriously, take her to a trained vet if you haven’t already.

Have you ever imagined what it might be like to be your pet?

You can’t afford a pet if you can’t afford a vet.

My cat had a similar looking condition on his head and the vet gave us some antibacterial wipes for the area I believe you can get them at the pet store, I’ll check what they’re called when I get off work

My cat had something similar and it turned out she was allergic to fleas. She didn’t even actually had fleas, just gotten bitten by a couple from neighbor cats and it took weeks to make it less itchy. A cortisone shot of like 15 bucks was all she needed. And regular flea drops.
