Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Bumps on the head and neck with missing fur may indicate an allergy. Often flea allergy in cats can present like this or food allergies or environmental allergy can also cause this. I recommend getting Selene on a good prevention such as Advantage if she is not on flea prevention. If she is itchy, the bumps have any discharge or painful she needs to go to the vet to see if she needs additional treatment or diagnostics.
