It is on the back of her neck and looks like dry skin, she is fine in herself eating plenty and running around.

Okay, seriously. Who just takes any antifungal cream they have and puts it on an animal? You don't give animals human medication. You're not a veterinarian, so don't give people medical advice, at least not regarding their animals. It's misleading and she'd probably harm the rabbit more than help it.
Your rabbit probably has mites or fleas. Mites can be microscopic, so even if you can't see them, they can be present on the animal. Or, maybe your rabbit's pulling her hair out because she's having a false pregnancy. All female rabbits need to be spayed around 6 months of age.
I suggest taking her to the vet ASAP. You can find a list of rabbit-savvy veterinarians here: http://www.rabbit.org/care/vets.html

This is starting to sound like a fungal infection...something similiar to athlete's foot. Try putting on an antifungal cream on her bald spot twice a day for anywhere from 7 to 10 days....and see where that gets you. If the hair starts growing back, then it was a fungal infection. If it doesn't then you'll need to take it to a vet. Please, whatever you do, make sure everyone washes their hands after handling the rabbit. Best of luck to you..........

More of a dog and cat person but must say I´m in agreement with most of the other answers, it could be a variety of problems. There are however a number of good veterinary American and English websites. It´s worth doing a search and presenting your problem to a few of them as they don´t always agree.This saved my cats life after a real vet misdiagnosed. Good luck!

Mites, kind of like fleas. Take them to the vet who will confirm it and then give her a jab that makes her blood poisious to the mites but safe for the rabbit. Left untreated it can lead to more complicated illness's.

The rabbit most likely has fur mites. Take it to the vet and he can inject it with a medicine to kill them or give you a powder or liquid to put on them to get rid of them.

im pretty sure it's mites. they are blood-sucking insects that cause bald spots. my guinea pig had them once, and to help her, we took her out of her cage, then put her in a temporary one while we totally sanitized her usual cage. then we took her to the vet and he gave us some cream to put on her spot twice a day.
or it could be a type of fungus, in which case your vet will also give you a cream.
hope she feels better!
