Recurring scalp acne - just in one location. sometime very thick paste like acne.

Could be a cyst: And not actual acne..If those are "squeezed", really thick, stinky goo will come out, and they might go away for a little while; however, if the capsule that holds the goo is not surgically removed or destroyed, then it will just continue to fill up with goo again. Have a derm take a good look and give an opinion. Also they can become secondarily infected, and might need antibiotics on occasion.
