Answer 1

She may have parasites or a rash you cannot see.  I would get her to the vet to have a skin test done.  Hair loss can be a first clue to other health issues.

Answer 2

maybe she has that mange parasite thing! go to the vet right away!

Answer 3

inspect her skin and look for redness, itching, scaling, fleas, etc.  if fleas, treat her.  if any of the other symptoms, try applying some cortisone ointment, available over the counter

Answer 4

She really could have the mange, as previously stated. Bring her to the vet and they'll do a skin scraping and start a culture. In several days they'll be able to tell you if it's parasites or not. In the meantime, they may be able to provide the kitty with a cream or gel to sooth the area.

Answer 5

You should definitely bring her to the vet to see if you can find out what's happening.

It could be a flea allergy if you allow her outside or has somehow been exposed to a flea (it can happen very easily).

sometimes cats will over groom a certain area if they are feeling stressed out or are experiencing an allergy of sort.  If you've changed the type of food you've been feeding her that could influence her or it could be a change in litter (type, or a scented litter).  Another possibility is the introduction of a new cleaning product at home.
