HI
Brittany
Please take your cat to see your vet as soon as possible if you haven't already.

It is impossible to say what has cause this but it sounds to me like she may have laid in some chemical or substance which has reacted badly with her skin. She may have also ingested some of it when she tried to wash. Without knowing what it is, i would say that a trip to your vets is urgent.

I do hope she is better soon, we can't protect our cats all the time but when they need us we can provide medial care.

best wishes kate
