My cat that I adopted from the Humane Society in April 2019, is now 6 years old and had very healthy fur until 4 days ago. I brought home a cat box from my parents' house as they got new ones and offered theirs since they had a top on their litter boxes. My cat tends to get litter everywhere. The next morning, my cat had a bare spot on the back of her neck. The next day, she started scratching it raw.
I can't afford to go to the vet till next Friday, so I put her cat harness on her to prevent her from getting to it. I also put a flea treatment on her to see if it could've been fleas. Two more days passed and it was finally scabbing. Well, tonight I took off her harness to see if she would stop touching the bare spot and she scratched the scab off. I believe it could be stress, but I am not sure. Please help.

She could have fleas or mites. Call the vet and work out a payment plan.
Is it possible she is scraping her back on the new box? Hopefully the vet will work a deal with you and get her fixed up soon!
Post back with an updating. Healing prayers!
Until you know what it is it will be hard to know if it is the new litter box or just coincidence. If you have a good relationship with your Vet maybe they would see you before pay day.
Maybe try an inflatable e-collar donut thing. I have the KONG one and it works really well.
