I'm sorry that you are having this problem with your eye! I've had this type of thing before and even though the pimple-like bump is pretty small I remember feeling like I had a golf ball in there. My first thought when I read your post was "I think she might have a stye." Here is a link to our stye page at EmpowHer--note that it's also described as looking like a pimple:

Styes are pretty common and as you'll see under "treatment" it looks like they often go away on their own. I know mine did. But it's still a good idea to keep an eye on it (oh man, no pun intended!) and make sure it's not getting worse. Let us know when you can if you think this might be it. Best in health, Michelle
