Noticed Blackened Finger After Trying To Plug A Broken Plug. Blackness Washed Off. Worried?

My 3 year old daughter just plugged in a broken plug our dog had chewed up. She ran to me spitting and screaming she burnt her finger. Her finger had black stuff on it, but it washed off . She kept pointing at her toungue, so I imagine it went through it. She is acting fine now (20 min later) but I am still worried that something is wrong?
