Hi,

Pimple like lesions on scalp would be follicultis. It is abacterial infection of hair follicles. Due to infection in scalp areas, the lymphnodes in neck..cervical lymphnodes may be enlarged and infected. There may be lyphadenitis and thst is why there is a pain in neck. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Take heavy antibiotics like cefixime 200 mg twice a day for two weeks. And take anti inflamnatory drugs like nimesulide 200 mg twice a day.
Wash the scalp with savlone containing water during bath. You may be alright after few days treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
