Question 1

had a vasectomy reversal 21 days ago, noticed a pimple like on stitches but it feels like a big pimple underneath, anything to be concern about?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: It's most reasonable to leave the described spot alone, which most likely represents the expected residual resolving effect of incision + stitches, as long as feeling more comfortable day by day and getting smaller and smaller slowly but surely. More doubt? See the surgeon for timely counseling.

Question 2

what causes pimples?

Accepted Answer

Nature: Acne pimples occur when the immune system detects the clump (comedone) of skin cells blocking a pore, trapping oils inside the skin, and also trapping some bacteria. The bacteria and oils leak into the skin, causing a reaction in which the immune system sends white blood cells in to push all of the stuff out of the body. After the pimple ruptures, it heals but imperfectly, leaving little scars.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Meds: Many patients do well with over the counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations. Some patients require topical or oral antibiotics or retinoids as well.

Not alone: This is azithromycin. Never use an antibiotic as sole treatment for acne; this plus topical benzoyl peroxide is a reasonable start. Topical Clindamycin or a short course of systemic tetracycline may work too. If this isn't sufficient, a dermatologist can offer something stronger.

Question 6

how to avoid pimples?

Accepted Answer

Asking about acne?: For treatment of mild acne, over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide gel or cream is helpful. If desired, a doctor can add an antibiotic gel or cream. If more help is needed, prescription retinoids such as Retin-A or Differin (adapalene) gel can be used instead of benzoyl peroxide. Oral contraceptives (for women) and oral antibiotics are options also. If acne is more severe, a dermatologist can help.
