What type of acid could burn through skin and any type of metal?

This is my first time using this site and i'm excited to get answers to roadblocks that have prevented me from finishing my writing in the past. However, you may have to excuse some mistakes I make along the way, internet communication isn't exactly my forte.

For starters, I've been trying to develop a character whose skin is not only immune to burning via acid, but also has a seemingly infinite supply of acid withing herself which she secretes all over her body uncontrollably. My questions are as follows:

• What type of acid should she secrete? I know hydrochloric acid is in our stomachs but that's not strong enough, it needs to be able to burn through skin and metal (kinda like alien, I guess). Some light research introduced to me hydrofluoric acid and fluoroantimonic acid, but I don't know enough about acids.

• Where does she store the acid inside her body and how does she get it out? It's possible she could store it in her stomach and it could come out her pores but I'm open to plenty of other ideas, because mine doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

• Finally, what could she wear to protect the things she comes in contact with? At first I was thinking thick rubber but then I came across Teflon, a material that apparently stops acid, but again I really have no idea.

I hope my questions are easy enough to answer. If you can think of any other problems with my character you would like to answer, then feel free. Your help is much appreciated.
