Can I say " my arms skin were scorched by the sun " to mean the same thing ?
The skin on my arms was scorched by the sun. :D

'skin' is singular. It covers your entire body in one single top layer. There are no parts. So it's singular.

:( arms' skin means, *skin of my arms
Skin covers your arms, so use skin on my arms


Cas :D
