What Causes A Red Growth On The Arm After An Insect Sting?

My 7year old son got stung by a wasp or hornet last weekend on his arm. He did not have an allergic reaction and it stopped hurting a couple hours later. But today, one week later, he still has a light to moderate red ring around the sting site that we did not notice earlier in the week ....it may have been there but we didn t notice. Is it reasonable to have ring from a sting of this type?
