1) When I fought againt her for the remote control, her nails scraped on my left arm.

2)A long red streak swelled across my arm.

3) When it was touched by water the next day, I felt a little pain.

Are they correct?

Thank you

I would re-write them to be more natural:

(1) When I fought with her for the remote control, her nails scraped me on the left arm.

(2) A long red streak ran across my arm.

(3) When I put my arm in water / When I got my arm wet the next day, I felt a little pain.
