I'd say you need to have Terminator-like skin in order to (relatively) quickly heal your skin (with no scars) after pouring more than half of pan of burning oil on your arm.

That would be a very serious burn, and in that situation it's important (to avoid death or loss of limb) to get the person to the nearest emergency department, and then to the nearest burns unit.
