## How to Remove Super Glue from Skin

### 1. Soap and Warm Water

If the glue is fresh and not fully dried, immediately soak the glued area in warm, soapy water. Gently try to peel or roll the glue off. Avoid pulling hard to prevent skin damage.

### 2. Acetone (Nail Polish Remover)

Acetone is the most common and effective solvent for dissolving cyanoacrylate glue. Apply a small amount of acetone-soaked cotton ball or cloth to the glued area and gently rub until the glue loosens.

**Precautions:** Acetone can dry and irritate skin; use sparingly and moisturize afterward. Avoid near open wounds or sensitive areas.

### 3. Petroleum Jelly or Oil

If acetone is too harsh, try applying petroleum jelly, olive oil, or coconut oil. Rub gently to loosen the glue bond. Oils can penetrate and soften the glue gradually.

### 4. Pumice Stone or Nail File

For hardened glue on skin (like on nails or fingertips), gently buff the glue with a pumice stone or nail file. Don’t overdo it to avoid skin irritation.

### 5. Commercial Glue Removers

There are specially formulated super glue removers available. Use according to instructions and ensure skin safety.
