I popped part of the pimple on my eyelid and it has lessen on the swollen part, but there is another pimple like bump on my eyelid. I'm hoping to be able to pop it also due to the pain of it. Is this healthy or right way to treat it?

It is normal for a stye to keep coming back due to infection. If any self-help treatment doesn't work, you need to ask for an optician's professional advice regarding your condition, as it can lead to chalazion and infection of the entire eyelid. You will be prescribed topical or oral antibiotics or even can lead to a surgery.
