What Causes Burning And Itching Sensation In The Scalp?

I have burning and itching scalp and my hair is falling out more recently. I color my hair and was wondering if this could be a cause. It has just started over the past couple of months - no change in color my hair dresser uses on me. My scalp will itch and when I scratch it, it feels like bumps and it burns and hurts to scratch it.
