My girlfriend is a doctor in an emerency department and she doesn't
think it's an acid burn .... mainly because of the large lump
under the skin on the mucle and the tenderness of the tendons
around the affected area. A surface acid burn, could not do this
(everything was dry although some moisture on the skin could react
with it).
What I do know is that my arm is still very sore to touch and using the
fingers activates the tendons (even typing this isn't much fun !!)
She suggests getting some ultrasound will help.

Bi-carb is good ... but just as easy is poring boiling water over the area
I suppose the overall warning is "don't mess with electricity".
