What Does Black Discoloration On The Forearm Indicate?

I have an area on my forearm that the outer layer of skin turned black and is peeling off. the skin underneath the black layer is pink and clean. No bubbles or pus. The area is not sore, just a slight burning sensation. I was out in the woods all day Saturday. Sunday afternoon the skin was black. Monday the black skin was coming off.
