Do you have another cat in the house that could be inflicting the wounds?
I have the exact same symptoms with my oldest cat. She is 14 years old. We can not tell if she is doing this herself...or it is one of the much younger cats (two others...one is 1.5...the other about 7 mos old).
***i just took my cat to the vet for this today, she has no flees and is indoor. the vet shaved her neck to see the sores which got bigger. (she looks hilarious) he just cleaned the area, put some ointment (animex i think), and gave her an antibiotic shot. and i have to give her oral pills 2 x a day for 2 weeks...he said its some kind of infection, or dermatitis, that could be from a bunch of stuff. if it doesnt get better hell do a culture and see what it is...fingers crossed shes ok...i read a bunch of forum answers and it could be allergy from anything even food, so i changed the brand of food too....goodluck!
The one area a cat cannot clean is its head. Neck and shoulders. So the cat cannot naturally groom there. I think regular washing would help.

∙ 15y agoit could be many things, If you have a cat that goes outside they could of got an it from a cat fight or from being attacked from a larger animal. It could also be from a sickness they could of picked up. The best thing to do is take to your vet and see what they say.

∙ 11y agoMy cat had a red, sore patch on her shoulder--hers was from excessive licking. The first time I took her to the vet and was given antibiotics and a soft collar to prevent her reaching it. The next time, on her hip, I just used the collar for a few days, put some plain vaseline on it and it starting healing up. My cat is 13 years old...
I'm no vet, and have no idea what it could be, but to get rid of it cleanse it out daily and apply a little preasure with a wet cloth if it bleeds
If you let your cat outside, she may have been mounted by a cat that's not fixed. When they mount the female they bite the neck to make her stay still.
