Reaction : This may be a reaction to a preservative in the injection, or an injection site reaction, or a reaction to the prep or band aids. See your physician to see if you need topical treatment.

Radio frequency : No, this is not normal and old be a sigh o f skin infection that can possibly track back all the way to the spine. See the doctor who treated you for evaluation and possible treatment. Watch for fever, back pain that is increasing, nausea, headaches etc.

Possibly: Could be just a post procedure reaction however if it continues to irritate you or gets worse i would speak with your doctor to look at it and make sure you don't have an infection.
