This cat has some sort of parasite. It could be any one of many such as mange, fleas or it could have a skin allergy. To be sure take the cat to see a vet.

What cause your cat to lick herself to the point shes raw?

I am speaking from my own personal experience of being the owner of a cat when I suggest that your cat may be stressed. Many cats when stressed over groom their selves to the point when they become bald. I am not a vet so I cannot properly diagnose your cats complaint but every time my cat grooms herself 'bald' she is simply stressed !
