“Red pimple?”
I am getting surgery tomorrow on my right shoulder and have a red pimple on it. Do you think I will be able to get surgery with a red pimple on my shoulder?

OrthopaedicSurgeonOrthopaedicSurgeonA red pimple on your shoulder is usually harmless and should not interfere with your surgery. However, it's always a good idea to inform your surgeon or medical team about it, especially if it’s near the area of the surgery. They may decide to monitor it, or in rare cases, address it if there's concern about infection.
If you experience pain, swelling, or other signs of infection around the pimple, it’s best to mention it before the procedure.
For more peace of mind, consult with your surgeon or visit Irvine Skin for advice.

Ask your surgeon.
Presence of pimp on the shoulder could increase the risk of a perioperative
infection. So surgeon depending your surgery may be cancelled.

Sorry I missed this. Depends on where it is and how it looks. Warm soapy water can help, and can some rubbing alcohol on it.
Depends on where it is compared to where the incision will be.
I would delay surgery and treat the shoulder with benzoyl peroxide.
