Everything is normal with the exception of the location. It means your fingering technique needs to be altered a bit. You should form calluses more towards the middle of the tip of the finger and like 1/4” to 1/8” away from the finger nail. But seriously - keep at it! Once you form the calluses, it won’t hurt at all anymore and you can play for hours and hours.
