Hi,
Acne over the scalp can occur due to causes like clogged hair follicles, bacterial infection causing Impetigo, allergic reaction, improper hygiene etc. I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist or Dermatologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like microscopic examination of the scrapings from the scalp and blood tests can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly.
You can be advised antibiotics, anti inflammatory medicines, anti allergic medicines and topical application of antibiotic and steroid ointment. Avoid scratching the bumps to avoid infection. Wash the scalp every alternate day with a mild shampoo. Avoid moisture accumulation in the scalp.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
