Please HELP!

I just got back into town from being away for a week and this is on my baby's face. I've never seen anything like it. I thought she had scratched herself, there was only a little mark whe I was leaving and I get home and this is what her face looks like. The people petsitting never mentioned anything.

I can't get her to the vet until Monday.
