Hi,
There is big difference between pimples and hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids occurs at exactly outside the anal opening and are due to engorgement and enlargement of the veins at the anal opening.
Pimples are due to blockage of oil glands or sebaceous glands.
Hemorrhoids are specifically present at anal opening and no where else pimples can be present any where on the skin other where there is high activity of oil glands.
Hope it clears your confusion.
