What Causes Redness On Scalp And Hair Fall?

I am having tremendous amount of hair loss. When I brush my hair the brush is full of hair in the amount of what it would be at the end of about a week of brushing my hair of not cleaning it out. Now my scalp has gotten very tender to the touch to the point of if I am wearing a knit hat or even not wearing anything at all on my head. I have some redness on my scalp at the tenderness.
