Cinema Secrets sells an appliance called Burn Scar. Though it says it's a latex appliance, it is a powder that you mix with water and it comes out like applesauce. Buy their injury makeup stack (if you don't have makeup) and use some red, a bit of yellow, a bit of purple, and black with a tiny bit of blood in the cracks and it looks awsome. I've used it and people have complimented how it looked.

Tear tissue into desired shape. Apply with liquid latex. When dry apply another coat over the tissue.To get a charred effect add cotton wool and cover in latex. When dry spray with black hair coloring. When dry peel some areas back.Mix knox gelatin and warm water. Use this to form droplets like blisters.Cover in glycerin to give an oozy fresh look.

this depends on what type of burn the coils are going to make (1st 2nd or 3rd degree) and how long the actor is going to keep it on.

If you want to create the appliance from scratch, make a wooden box about the length of your actors fore arm and wide enough to fit the coil in, the height of the box should only be about an inch or so. pour plaster into the box, let it harden a little, then like wet concrete sidewalk make an imprint of the coils in the plaster wait only a few second and pull the coils back out and put it back on your stove.

make a thin layer of latex and depending on whether you want a raised or lower burn will determine which way you apply the burn to the arm. from here it's all make-up, most burns make an orange-red mark, but in the center it should be almost a black red.

this does take a lot of time blending and getting it right, and make should you cut the latex to the curve of your actors arm a bit (do not wrap it all the way around).

I have tried this many times before. The thing that I found that works the easiest and looks the best is simply the skin of toasted marshmallow.
