General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The rubbing of the eye because it is itchy may introduce bacteria under the skin which would possibly cause the pustules that you are seeing.

An oral antihistamine would help to reduce the allergic response but it is possible that you may need oral antibiotics as well.
Unfortunately these would have to be prescribed by your doctor.

There are allergy eye drops that may help with the itching of the eye eg zaditor, pataday, optivar, alaway, elestat

These may or may not be over the counter.

I hope this helps
