Oil gland problem: This could be a problem with the oil glands along the margin of the eyelids. They can be inflammed(blepharitis) or drain poorly(meibomian gland disease). This can cause itching, sorness, redness, and lead to chalazia(styes). The pimple may be a stye or small abscess. An eyecare specialist should see you, but typically hot compresses and lid cleansing(baby shampoo) can help.

Many possible causes: There are many things that could cause the skin to itch. Several types of inflammatory conditions of the skin, allergic reactions, and sometimes bacterial, viral or fungal infections can cause rashes on the skin. Insect bites can also be the cause of a rash on the skin. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
