Hi it sounds like she may have abscesses. the white stuff may be puss.

I'm sorry to say but your cat sounds like she may be in some distress. Losing weight etc may indicate a number of possible illnesses and her immune system may now be too weak to fight off infection hence the skin infections etc. I would strongly urge you to take your cat to see a vet as soon as possible.

Best wishes kate
