Yes and no: Sounds like an allergic reaction to something in the dye. It will go away by itself. If it is really itchy, you can take an antihistamine like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) safely. Be sure that you have washed and rinsed your scalp as thoroughly as possible to remove all traces of whatever you're allergic to.

I have an itchy scalp and two small bumps at the bottom of my head on either side. Could this be allergy related since it is fall? I have been sweating a lot as well due to increase in exercise. Skin on body itches as well.
