How come my cat keeps itching on back of her neck and now its scabbed what is the cause of this?

Very typical of your cat to scratch the back of her neck!I've never heard such thing! But, it probably has fleas or worms which is not good. Since she is able to actually scratch her back part of the neck I don't think it's possible to buy flea treatments because they are usually placed on the back of the neck so she would scratch it off and have it on her paw and she would lick her paw which wouldn't be good so the only way is to go to the vet unless you know something else wrong with her that you can figure out.
