The first thing to keep in mind is that super glue will eventually wear off your skin, so don’t hurt yourself trying to get it off.
With that in mind, you can find commercial adhesive removers that will remove super glue. Most are not made for contact with the skin, so be careful before you start spraying yourself with adhesive removers. That said, finger nail polish remover is also often effective at removing super glue and if your skin isn’t sensitive to this kind of contact, you may have the answer right in your cosmetic case.
A less intensive method of removing super glue is to use hand lotion. Almost any kind of lotion will do. Simply rub the lotion thoroughly onto the skin and the super glue will likely start peeling off from the edges.
As the super glue thoroughly dries, you can also sometimes just peel it off. This is especially true when there’s only a small section of super glue, but be careful of larger sections of glue because there’s the potential to peel skin as well with the glue.

Super Glue is incredibly strong, it has one weakness: acetone.
Acetone is often found in household nail polish remover, and a small amount on the end of a Q-tip or cotton swab applied directly to the glue should dissolve the bond without damaging the skin. Be very cautious in gently peeling the skin apart as in removing a bandage from the skin; pulling the skin apart may rip the skin! Read the label to make sure that the remover actually contains acetone, as more and more manufacturers are turning away from the chemical because of the growing popularity of acrylic nails (which are loosened by acetone).
Be careful - straight acetone will discolor a number of fabrics and can mar the finish of laminated counter tops (mainly the darker colored ones). Straight Acetone defats the skin; wash with soap and water after use and apply hand lotion to replenish the skin and remove any dryness effects. Use acetone sparingly and cautiously with these tips in the following situations:
* Clothing/Fabrics
Use acetone and an old toothbrush, reapplying the acetone a number of times and brushing to remove it layer-by-layer. Work on outside and then on inside. May not come off entirely.
* Counters, tables, floors, etc.
Use acetone to soften glue and then start working at the glue. Brush, scrape, shave, peel, sand or whatever mechanical means is available to work the glue off. Reapply acetone and continue to work at the glue.
* Glass
Standard Super Glue is not recommended to be used for glass bonding applications. If bonded, soak in water until parts come apart.
The best suggestion is to properly cover your work area with metal foil before use - and always work with Super Glue and other adhesives in a well-ventilated area!
Should Super Glue bond to any body part where acetone should not be applied, such as the lips or eyes, the following steps will help you get out of any sticky situation!
* Skin
Immerse bonded areas in warm, soapy water. Peel or roll skin apart; a spatula or teaspoon handle or even a pencil will help. Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water (may take several applications). Fingernail polish remover with an acetone base has also been successful for removal of cured adhesive from skin.
* Lips
If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply a generous amount of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva from inside the mouth. Peel or roll (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow the adhesive as a liquid. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment.
* Eyelid
In the event that eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. To our knowledge there has never been a documented case of adhesive in the eye causing permanent damage. Do not try to force eyes open.
* Eyeball
The adhesive will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. Periods of weeping and double vision may be experienced until clearance is achieved. Use of a warmed 3% sodium bicarbonate solution to wash eyes repeatedly may assist in aiding more rapid removal of the adhesive.

Depends where it is. If you are dealing with just your hand the fastest way it to use a very dull knife (but sharper than a butter knife) and just scrape it off. If you are dealing with areas of skin with a lot of hair on them then use paint thinner or nail polish remover. Don't do that on your face though!

Use a lot of water on it , If that doesn't work, use some effective thinner (nail polish remover kind). Pain removers are good too.
If they don't work, Contact the doctor.

You can't. Its fused. The dead epidermis skins will shed in a few days and you will be able to peel it off

If it's just a tiny bit use a nail file and file it lightly then wash your hands and put on lotion.
