Normal?: If the stinger is left in there will be a foreign body reaction where the body will encapsulate it and it may form an abscess. Sounds like that is what happened, there may be surrounding infection or reaction to it. Home treatment may include hot water soaks with soap and epsom salts but you likely need a doctor to evaluate it for antibiotics and drainage.
