I have a male indoor cat and he's about a year old and He isn't neutered . lately hes been scratching the back of his neck till the point its creating bald spots and bleeding, but he won't stop at that he continues to scratch until I stop him. I've been cleaning out the wounds and putting polysporn and bandages over it trying to stop him from scratching it even though its only stopping the contact of his nails. He's also got like black kinda clumpy looking stuff on his chin. I just changed his food dishes from plastic to glass in case it has anything To do with it. We recently moved a guy in and he owns a cat who is very aggressive and hisses at him and bullies him a lot.hes also been peeing out of the litter box every Now and then. I can't afford a vet so I'm a little worried and want to see if I can fix it before it gets to bad and have to resort to a vet. ( PS. I feel like the peeing is just him not being neutered but I need reasurrance)

Help my cat is scratching till he bleeds

Have you looked into if he has flees? maybe the new cat brought flees in? The peeing could be from him not being neutered, or maybe he is feeling bullied and is making his territory so the other cat knows. I would try to find a way to not allow the other cat to bully your cat. Your cat feels threatened or scared and you need to look out for him.

I feel like I should probably clarify that the new cat doesn't leave my moms room , and won't approach my cat. And my cat follows her around just watching her until she snaps and freaks out at him and starts hissing and swating. he just keeps sitting in front of her even if we try and stop him...he does it to himself

Even if there isn't much interaction the flees can spread, with your cat scratching himself I would look into flees or maybe a skin issue. it might be an issue to bring up to a vet that way they can better treat it, I have no idea about the black stuff on his chin I would get it checked.
