Have been to Urgent Care but should I go to ER for this burn?

Female 30, 5’3, 129 pounds, currently taking Lexapro and topiramate.

On Sunday afternoon, I was working at my part time job and received a second degree burn on my right inner elbow from fryer grease. I went to my local urgent care and they initially treated me and gave me antibiotics (Cephalexin) and a tetanus shot, along with wrapping the wound with instructions for home care. Had a follow up visit today and while it’s healing, according to the provider, my mom thinks I should visit the ER. I do have range of motion but it hurt to move
Should’ve gone on Sunday, I acknowledge, but didn’t think about it.
I wanted to ask outside parties for their thoughts and opinions on what I should do.
