Herpes seems unlikely. "Pimple-like" usually isn't herpes; herpes starts with a very red spot that turns into a superficial blister, and only then becomes pimple-like. Although herpes recurs in the same general area (e.g., left side of penile shaft), it generally does not reappear as a single lesion in exactly the same spot. The location you describe is atypical for hepres. Finally, herpes generally doesn't leave a scar. My guess is that you have a sebaceous cyst that gets inflamed periodically, or folliculitis. See a health care provider next time the lesion flares up.
