That pimple on your eye lid is what is known as a "stye." I get them all the time. You do NOT want to pop it. It won't work. All you're doing by squeezing it is irritating it, making it bigger and redder. The way to get rid of a stye is to put a clean, wet compress, such as a wash cloth, paper towel, or tissue, on your eye. Through a process called, "osmosis" the infected puss in your tear gland will be absorbed into the wet compress. You should use a new compress for at least half an hour at a time and as often as needed. I've also heard that a used tea bag works best. I'm not sure if it works any "better" but I have tried it and it does seem to work as well.
Hot tea bag works best i think
I'm sorry, but osmosis is the movement of WATER along a concentration gradient, usually where the particles are unable to diffuse across the membrane, but said membrane is water permeable. Warm compresses may help, but it's not through the way that some misinformed individual told you. It can help improve circulation in the area; it is NOT going to magically draw pus out through your skin.

Not a pimple, don't touch it. Make sure to throw away old makeup, dispose of your old contacts and wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes. Styes are a buildup of bacteria, and they are annoying but harmless.
This site really needs a get over it button. OMG you got a pimple! Almost everyone has them at some point. It's part of life! GET OVER IT! Your life isn't ruined because you have a pimple! Geez
it is probably a stye
Most likely it's a infected eyelash or stye. Put a hot or warm green tea/ regular tea bag on your eye and it will go away very quickly after wards.
OP could be washing all of their face. You can still get pimples even when you wash your face, you know.
I wash my face multiple times per day with prescribed facewash, and I still have acne. The only reason it's tolerable is because of the pill I take.

It's okay by the end of the day you'll have broken some kind of guiness worded record for the longest held stare as well as creeped the shit out of everyone around you :)
Good idea! When in doubt, poke your eye with a needle.
