Blepharitis: Blepharitis also causes itching & this can occur with allergies. It's a minor infection of the eyelids. Crusting & tearing is common. Warm compress with daily baby shampoo washing of the eyelids helps relieve this. Severe cases are placed on antibiotics by your doctor.

Possible sty: The pain on the corner of the eyelid exacerbated with blinking and morning increased mucous buildup sounds like a sty. I recommend starting moderately hot wet compresses 2-4 times daily for 10' followed by gentle massage. B careful not to burn yourself. This should help drain the backed up oil gland and relieve the pain. If not better, see an eye md.
