I had a CAT scan done of my brain to check for a bleed in the brain. Now I feel a burning sensation all over my skin, from my mid-chest up to the top of my head. What's going on? Did I get an overdose of radiation?

I had CT scan with dye of my chest several months ago and two days later started experiencing a sunburn like sensation with no visible    burning UNDER my skin from the edge of my armpit to the center of my left breast.  I am a 68 year old male and in good health otherwise.  Any ideas what is the cause and the remedy?  Any health threatening conditions indicated by these symptoms?

during my brain scan I felt like my head was on fire, went to my face and neck feeling like bad sunburn. Stopped after the scan. I am worried cause nothing like this ever happened before when having scans.
