“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?

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.
