Hi. Greetings. Sore and itchy scalp could be the result of Seborrhoea / folliculitis/ sebopsoriasis/ rosacea of scalp etc. One of the easiest way of dealing with these is use of an antifungal shampoo under prescription.  See a qualified dermatologist in your city to first understand the cause for itching.  Use of hair dye and henna also could cause scalp itching. You could send me snaps/ other queries on follow up chat. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal, Excel care hospital, Bangalore.
