Sounds like scalp folliculitis. Could be bacterial, fungal or even product build up. You will most likely need longer treatment to ensure since it is a recurring condition.

Pimples on your scalp are mainly called folliculitis of scalp.
This can be because of multiple causes such as dandruff, head lice, improper haircare, bacterial infection and many more.
Best is to get it checked by a dermatologist.
