I was heating up a pan on the stove to cook my breakfast when the doorbell rang. I went to answer the door and when I got back the pan was smoking. I took it off the stove and went to open the window. The pan tipped and spilled on my right forearm. I felt a slight stinging. I said calmly, "Oh, I burned myself". I walked to the sink and ran cool water over it. I began to wipe the oil off and realized the oil was thick and light brown... I thought it was slightly brown because it burned on the stove. As I continued to wipe, my skin turned WHITE where the oil had been. What I thought was oil was really my SKIN melting off!
Anyways, it's been 10 days and now it's a thick ugly scab. Not pretty. I've been putting Neosporin and Sovereign Silver (homeopathic first aid gel for bug bites and serious burns) on it three times a day. Below is a photo of it on the day it happened and the other is how it looks today. I think it's a 2nd degree burn.

Ouch! That really looks bad! I hope it didn't leave a mark. You have to be doubly careful next time. It can be easy to sustain burn injuries in the kitchen if you drop your guard.
