Hi XXXXXXX

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Pimples on scalp are usually due to bacterial infection of skin which may present like pustules.

These pustules require antibiotics both oral and local antibiotic cream such as mupirocin application.

Another possibility is mixed infections with fungal and bacterial infections in which local application both anti fungal and antibacterial creams are required.

Clinical examination by dermatologist is required to know the type of pimples and to prescribe specific medication directing towards treating pimples.

Therefore I suggest you to consult the dermatologist for clinical examination and for treatment.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
