No: As long as you do not have infection in the area or allergic reaction it should be transient.

Normal: Happens everywhere you shave. The shaving leaves a sharp tip that irritates the skin where it digs into it. Happens when men grow a beard as well, it can be quite itchy at first. When the hair is long enough to stay away from the skin, the itching goes away.
