I would try to get it off, cats can be poisoned by all sorts of things and better safe than sorry.
You need a shower or bath with a shower attachment, some shampoo (preferably one for cats), a towel for the cat to stand on in the shower/bath (gives them a bit more of a sense of security and something to stick their claws into other than your arm), and possibly some strong gloves. The best place to get a grip on a cat is the scruff of the neck, be assertive and whatever you do don't be scared - they sense it. Good luck!
