Actually if you are scrubing and washing your neck a lot it is probably not dirt. When people are younger they turn over (or shed and get new) skin cells at a fast rate. The build up of dead skin cells and body oil will be grayish--darker in color and look like dirt. Scrubbing so harshly may be aggravating the problem. Try soaking in a tub of soapy water, leaning back to get your neck wet for about 20 minutes and then gently rub the skin with a loofa sponge or a wash cloth. Once your neck looks clean, pat it dry and apply a light weight water based moisturizer.
At night you can use an astrigent type cleaner on a cotton ball and run it over the area (if the skin is irritated or red I wouldn't advise this step) wait until the skin looks normal. After you do this for several days you should notice an improvment. If not, you could always seen your Dr or a cosemtologist for other suggestions. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]
