Dyed hair last night didn't realise cut on scalp stung for a few minutes. scared it has got in to my bloodstream and will cause damage/cancer?

No: Luckily, life is not so fragile. Otherwise, there would be a lot of people showing up at their doctor's offices looking sickly but with gorgeously vibrant hair color. The more common problem seen is a scalp reaction (allergic reaction or irritant reaction) due to the chemicals interacting with the skin.
