Allergies? Or have you changed/added any meds to your life?
I know that for me, my skin overall has gotten drier and more sensitive as I have gotten older. But even so, I usually don't have turn-on-a-dime changes like the one you're describing.
Sometimes people can and do get scalp dermatitis. If you've recently changed shampoos/conditioners/styling products or the detergent/fabric softener you use, that might be an issue.
I would probably try doing the laundry in a mild soap like no-dye/no-fragrance Purex for a while. Possibly switching to a no-dye no-fragrance shampoo/conditioner for a bit might make sense too. Might also try massaging some tea tree oil into my scalp before bed as well -- tea tree is a good antifungal/antimicrobial, and just on the off chance that you've developed a mild infection it can't really do you any harm. Then shampoo in the morning.
