It sounds to me that your arm has started to blister. i would recomend that you put some cold water on you arm. dont poke at it and dont cover it up. it is better just being left open. Hope this help.

love and hugs

You need to keep this wound clean to avoid infection.
If it blisters, don't burst them as they are there to protect the skin.
Petroleum jelly dressings are the best to use on burns.

Take care
