There are several variables to your concern. Is there an infection deeper than the skin? I cannot provide you advice without seeing and evaluating the issue, but it may need antibiotics by mouth. This can be serious to need you to go to the hospital for CT scan.

Start with twice daily 🧊ice packs gently pressed down over swollen eye.
May need a specific antibiotic eye ointment prescribed.
Finally, if pimple persists could require a small procedure by eye doctor
