Sounds like the start of a boil. get someone to have a look and describe it to you. If it has an obvious "head" hot flannels will bring it out so the swelling and pus can be discharged.
If it doesnt look like a spot or boil, nip to the docs and let him have a look.

This very thing happened to me 6 years ago , I went to bed normally and woke up in terrible pain. I went to the hospital and found a disc in my neck has slipped out between my 5th and 6th cervical vertebrae . It took an operation to repair the damage. They went in from the front of my neck and replaced the disc with bone from a cadaver. It's been fine since and no problems , the operation took only an hour. Get checked right away at a local emergency room to be sure of the problem.

I would say that you have a boil or a carbunkle and you need to get something from the doctor like penicilin, but you could try putting a salt bag on it to soothe it or it might even make it burst which would be better still.
You shake a small amount of salt in a frying pan and heat it over a very low heat, get a thickish piece of rag and put the salt when hot into it and secure, put it onto the spot and hold there.
Hope it gets better soon.

Put a warm facecloth on it. If its a boil (coz it sounds a bit more than an ordinary zit!) it will help draw it out. See a doctor and get treatment for it (usually antibiotics)...;
