It depends on the type of acid and the concentration of it. Acetic acid diluted as vinegar might just cause some minor irritation, while pure acetic acid can cause a burn scab.

Citric acid from apple juice won't burn you, but one drop of sulfuric acid in the laboratory leaves a terrible burn.

It depends on the concentration of the acid. Acids greater than about 15% can burn your skin. It also depends on the acid and the length of time it is on your skin.
