Answer 1

You need to take her to a vet http://www.guinealynx.info/vet.html

Answer 2

Sounds like ringworm.  Stop trying to cut the stuff off, its her skin.  You really really need to see the vet, ringworm can infect humans.

Answer 3

Rachel it would seem she has a parasite.. how old is she? any idea how she lost her fur? I personally would not recommend trying to cut it off.. ..does the white stuff appear to be alive?
