What Causes A Itchy Red Bump At The Base Of My Neck?

Two days ago my neck was bumpy, red and very itchy. Also my ear. I also felt what I believe to be an enlarged lymph node on the base of my skull (just speaking from experience). Previously thought it was due to dying my hair- but it has been weeks. Still some itching and bump has not gone away. Any ideas?
