She's been doing it for a few months now. Pic related, other side looks worse but it's kinda hard to get a good picture.

We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas ;) We haven't been to the vet, due to circumstances beyond my control, don't ask.

She seems Ok otherwise but I'd really appreciate any good advice. Thanks, frens.

Seems like flea or insect bite but shouldn’t last a few months long. Have you tried putting anything on it? Spray it with a “hot shot” liquid you can get at any pets store maybe? Or even an anti fungal/anti itch cream like cortisone?

Haven't tried to put anything on it, since we're afraid she'll just lick it and ingest whatever we put on there. Hard for me to leave the house atm, so I'd prefer to order it.

Anything you put on it will be absorbed into her body through the skin, so if she licks it off, can’t be much worse for her. I’m guessing it’s itchy and hence why she’s licking it. Poor baby. Are you sure it’s not fleas? Maybe a flea bath? Idk, but I do think ultimately you need to apply something.

Haven't seen any fleas. We thought it might be mites but there's no evidence for that either. It seemed to get better for a while, hence we hesitated to apply any medicine. I'm sure you're correct, we'll have to apply something. Was hoping to find some natural remedy that won't hurt her. My other two are fine, btw. Thanks for caring, it means a lot.
