Possible causes for the lesions in the picture include fleas, ear mites, ringworm, allergies, among others. I would recommend that you see your vet for diagnosis, as this can quickly get worse. Ringworm can also be contagious to humans.

The picture is very blurry unfortunately. Any hairloss in a kitten is most likely ringworm. The watery eyes is probably not related; this could be due to allergies, an upper respiratory or ocular herpes virus. She really should be examined by a vet.
