Numbness in the right arm and hand can result from various factors, including nerve compression, poor circulation, or underlying medical conditions. Common causes include carpal tunnel syndrome, cervical radiculopathy, or thoracic outlet syndrome. If the numbness is sudden or accompanied by other symptoms such as weakness or difficulty speaking, it may indicate a serious condition, such as a stroke, and requires immediate medical attention. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

If you burnt yourself on your wristand your arm is numb you should probably go see a medical specialist.
Cutting off bloodflow or pressure on the nerve in your arm can cause it to "fall asleep" or go numb, as you've described.
