Scalp still hurting 9 months after chemo

My scalp is still really sore months after my chemo finished.  It feels just like it did during chemo.  That kind of ‘had your hair tied up for too long then released it’ feeling.  Is this just me? I am now worrying that the tamoxifen is still causing hair follicles to die off. Any ideas how to get rid of that sore, irritated feeling would be great.  Thanks xx
