• Is this infected

I got burned. I been taking care of it but my concerns are I may have an underlying illness I'm not aware of as to my wound. It's hard to touch, swollen, bulging, hot, crackling and warm. I'm concerned about gangrene.

From your pictures and description, there is nothing to worry about. If the swelling grows instead of subsiding in the coming days, you should see your family physician who can assess the damage and if there is anything to worry about, s/he will refer you to an ER for assessment.
