This article deals with the fear of having one's neck touched. Suggested names for the phobia are:

aphephobia, haphephobia, (aphenphosmphobia):
An excessive fear of touching or of being touched by other persons. In some cases, fear of being touched may relate to sexual fears. Some people fear being touched because they fear contamination.

Touched, being touched- Aphenphosmphobia, Haphephobia or Haptephobia or Chiraptophobia.

Again, I am finding nothing specific to the neck.
