I bought a rabbit from a friend and I have noticed around it's neck area that it doesn't have that much fur so you are able to see it's red/pinkish skin. What should I do?

I don't think you need to do anything unless it is bothering him (like he is scratching it). Just monitor it and if it worsens or starts to bother him then I think you should get him to your vet for an exam. If you want to re-post with some photos we may be able to help you more. Best wishes!
