It's because you are black. This is natural.

Some people with tan skin have dark skin on the neck, just like some white folks have red on the back of their necks. Scrubbing your neck too hard is only going to make it darker.

You are not dirty, so stop scrubbing. It's hyper-pigmentation. You need products that will exfoliate your skin gently and you need to use sunscreen. Products with hydroquinone, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, licorice extract all help to exfoliate. Use the same products you would to lighten a dark spot on your face. Try a series of chemical peels and always wear sunscree.

Friction is whats keeping that neck skin dark. Normally, obese people have it and people who just can't do without heavy metal necklaces that react with sweat.
Over exposure to the sun too is the culprit.

whatever you do, do not rub it with bare hands. that will only make it worse. the oil from yr hands will increase the darkness. also make sure yr not allergic to the metal in the necklaces yr wearing. with that being said, stress can make metals change yr skin color even if yr not allergic. so, relax, use a facial toner n dont touch it. wear only actiual gold or silver necklases stay away from nickle based ones. good luck.

If you used to wear clothing that exposed your neck area, then the dark colour is from too much sun exposure.
There's really nothing you can do about it now, just make sure that you dont expose your neck to the sun that much.

scrubbing too much may lead to the darkening of the skin.

Use a facial cleaner, then afterwards use toner. Since when do fat and black necks go together?

the abrasion from the necklaces and scrubbing are probably making it darker.
