Can a wound be gilded with metal?

I have a character who loses her forearm. To up the cool factor (and because this once happened in a dream of mine), I'd like for her to dip her stump in gold.

Would this actually result in gold covering her skin, or would this just burn her skin/flesh and do nothing otherwise?

I'd like a relatively realistic answer, but magic does exist in-universe, and she is a magic user.
