I believe people are blankly unaware that cats, despite their smaller size, have more brain than a 60 pound dog. They are actually affectionate and only scratch or hiss or growl or basically anything they do that threatens people if they feel threatened. If you where to look back at their past, you see that they started as hunters, not housepets. Now, give me one time you heard of a domestic cat kill a person. I'm waiting.... See you can't do it because it's never happened. Now dogs, well, not so much. There are WAY more dog fatalities than shark fatalities, so the reason why cats are hated for their uncommon personality is still a big "?" for me. It just doesn't make sense. How could something so kind and sweet have such a mean and horrible reputation? I believe it started with Halloween and it's black cats. Anyway, go to some animal shelter anytime you'd care to, and I highly guarantee you will find one cat interacting with a shelter staff in a positive way. That stuck-up, mean, greedy personality cats are often accused of is the lie of the ages. I am 100% certain that all those "bad cats" had some trama in their lives causing them to set their guard up higher than usual, not that cats let their guard down. Once again it is in their blood and instinct to defend against possible threats, so understand, it's all YOUR fault if a cat shows negative reaction to you. YOU provoked it. HE/SHE defends itself against you and sees you as a possible threat. This is why cats will scratch or hiss. It's you.

Sounds like feline acne. Do you use plastic food bowls? Plastic ones are infamous for irritating kitty's skin, for the rough, uneven surface and also because plastic harbors bacteria. I would recommend switching her bowls to either ceramic or stainless steel, preferrably stainless steel. Make sure that the bowl is wide and shallow, so her chin doesn't have to rub against the surface so much. I wouldn't recommend putting anything on it now, especially not without the Vet's recommendation. Cats are very finnicky about having things on their fur and she'll try to get it off, probably ingesting some as she goes. The irritation sould go away pretty soon, especially if you change her bowls.
Good luck!

List of possible things it could be:
+ beginnings of an abscess
+ tumour
+ feline acne
+ insect bite (how long has it been there)
+ an allergy, especially to fleas
+ something else that a vet would be able to think of!
Basically, I can't think of anything it could be that DOESN'T require treatment by a vet. Maybe an insect bite, but basically, if your animal is ever in pain...
GO TO A VET!

It could be a number of things. Cut, bite or whatever. Maybe try some neosporin if it looks more like a cut. If it is that bad to where you can tell it is hurting her, then going to the vet is your best thing you can do for your cat.

I had that problem with a dog once. It turned out that the collar was rubbing her and caused an infection. Does the cat have a collar? Might it be too tight? Just a thought.

Sorry, but I have no idea what that it. I feel sorry for you cat, though. You should get an appointment for it at the vet.

Please take your cat to the vet. If something "hurts her a lot," you should help her. She can't do it herself.
