Apply a base, such as baking soda and water as soon as possible to neutralize the acid. If possible , soak in a solution of baking soda and water. A blister may form, once you've neutralized the acid , you may have to attend to the blister.

Wash the burn area vigorously with soap and water. If it is a minor rash, smear some ointment on it and cover with a bandage. If the rash worsens, seek medical attention. If the burn is serious, like sulfuric or nitric acid, contact medical assistance as well.

Any type of base that isn't too dangerous by itself. Most scientists keep a bottle of sodium bicarbonate or other base nearby, in the case of an acid spill. If that happens, all someone needs to do is sprinkle the base over the acid, and most of the acid would be neutralized into a harmless salt.

What is the best substance to neutralise sodium hydroxide solution?

Any acid can be used to neutralize a base such as sodium hydroxide. If you have a concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide, you could neutralize it most efficiently with a strong acid such as hydrochloric acid. You can also neutralize it with Coca Cola, or vinegar, or many other acidic chemicals, but it would require a larger amount than if you used hydrochloric acid.
