Itchy Rashes On The Scalp After Using A Hair Dye. Applied Cortisone And Took Benadryl. Swollen Lymph Nodes On The Back Of The Neck. Should Be Concerned?

I dyed my hair two days ago with a different brand than I usually use. My head broke out in an itchy rash . Had a burning fevered sensation. I used cortison cream yesterday and took two benadryl last night. Still itchy but now I have two swollen lymph nodes on the back of my neck and one behind each ear. Should I go to the er or will the allergy subside?
