goop bodyglide all over the back of your neck.

Where would you want to swim ?

You might want to verify the fit of your wetsuit - sounds like a bad fit to me.

Try the bodyglide tip. If that doesn't cut it (and you want to keep the wetsuit) get yourself a rash guard to wear as a base layer (avail at all surf shops and many general sporting goods stores).

Where would you want to swim ?

Can you take a picture with the suit on and post it? Also, where you velcro the zipper tab to the closure tab, is the zipper sticking up? Can the closure tab be pulled down slightly as it is pulled over? Is this your first wetsuit? Are you a new swimmer and perhaps bending your head/neck to get air instead of turning your head?

I had a similar problem my first few swims in a wetsuit. Turns out I simply wasn't yanking the pants/torso part up high enough -- basically you should attempt to give yourself a wedgie when you put the thing on.

Try the glide goop, or some pam cooking spray. You could also tape over (medical tape -- similar to blister treatment) the place in your neck if it's not a giant gaping wound or anything. It'll probably come off during the swim, but may offer some protection. And it's a cheap remedy (along with the wedgie treatment and pam spray).

Good luck.

 
On the boat at Alcatraz I saw someone who looked like they had Duct Tape around their neck.

I thought "Mate, you need a better wetsuit if you need to do that!"

Ha. U shoulda jumped into the Bay, given the guy a Super-Wetsuit-Wedgie, and ripped the tape off! :)
