When I took her in to the vet, I asked her and she didn't say anything about it except that it was probably related to the bad shed that was going on around the neck/head area. Vet gave me some SSD cream. (Not sure what it stands for but she said I could also get it at walmart) and it seemed to go away as soon as she shedded again. She did shed 3 times that whole month that she was sick. So, im guessing they tend to shed more when they are sick/bad shed???
