I have a 2nd degree burn on r forearm, at elbow from cooking. green dead skin rubbing off and now pain in bicep muscle. possible infection?

Infection likely: The green color of the burnt area suggests an infection. You should see a doctor familiar with burn treatments to examine you. You may need antibiotics and direct treatment of the burn with Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) cream.
