Very Itchy, Agitated , Burning Scalp After Using Bleach Hair Dye For Long Time. Help

I have used a bleach hair dye and it unfortunately turned my hair a bad orange so i used a dye to turn it back dark and then another darker one as the first one didnt work. Ive had a very ichy, aggitated scalp as well as burns and heat behind my ears! How can i stop it and when will it go away? Could i potentially loose hair?
