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.

What does the vet say?
Seriously, take her to a trained vet if you haven’t already.
Once we can afford to do so.
You can’t afford a pet if you can’t afford a vet.
Have you ever imagined what it might be like to be your pet?
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.
Same for mine! Flea meds took care of it
Definitely see a vet.
Things that can help (but not remediate): Keep the water bowl full and add a second if it ever empties, just to ensure access. Keep stress low.
Dude. Take. Your. Cat. To. The. Vet!
What happened to Cleo? Hope she heals quickly
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
Our cat used to get really itchy spots until we switched his food to Hills Prescription Diet Z/D for Allergies. Hope kitty is okay!
My sister’s male cat has bladder problems and he must stick to the Hills diet, but does it work for major skin irritation?
Our boy with allergies had rashes all over his face and eyes and it got better after switching foods! This was after vet visits and different medications too
