Can the vertebra that affect hair follicles being out of alignment cause bumps and sores on scalp?
First, there is no single vertebra that affects hair follicles. It is possible that if your spine is unhealthy then so will be the rest of your body, and ultimately this could affect your hair follicles to some extent, but the bumps and sores on your head are most certainly not a result of spine health. A doctor of chiropractic is not the right specialist for this problem. Doctors of chiropractic specialize in the spine and general neuromusculoskeletal function. This sounds more like a fungal infection (tinea capitis perhaps?). This is likely a condition best left to a different type of specialist known as a dermatologist. Make an appointment with your medical doctor to get a professional opinion.

Sores on scalp?
well... this could be a number of things, but the most common would be seborrheic dermatitis. I've had it ever since I was 10. It is a life long condition that in most cases can be treated with an over the counter shampoo. It may or may not be genetic (I'm the only person in my family who has it). Its side effects are: sores on the scalp, itchy scalp, flaky areas of the scalp, and in some cases hair loss. The best thing to do would be to purchase a dandruff shampoo i.e. T-Gel, Head and Shoulders, Selsun Blue. Out of these choices, I would say the medicated Selsun Blue works the best for me, it has menthol in it which really helps with the itch. If they do not get better or get worse, go to a dermatologist. Since it is lifelong, you will always have little outbreaks, but you can prevent them by washing regularly with dandruff shampoo.
