Redness On Upper Lip, Allergic Reaction. Used Exfoliating Masks. Taken Benadryl And Tylenol. Is It A Major Reaction?

I used just for men on my beard, left on for 3 minutes. My upper lip is red and I have seen a lot of horror stories of allergic reaction to this stuff. I wish I would have read them before putting dye on. I have used multiple exfoliation masks and lotion. Took Benadryl and Tylenol. I'm scared I will have a major reaction. What can I do?
