I have a black dot spot under my neck near my collar bone , sorrounding it is somewhat white-grayish in color, whenever I prick it with my finger, some moist come out, it kinda smells when I smell it through my fingers. Should I worry?

Sounds like it is either a blackhead or a scab that is infected. A putrid smell can be common for acne. I would say, don't pick, and if it continues to get worse or there is pain, get it checked.
