A cactus fell on my hand. will the skin remove any needles stuck inside?

Time to heal: The needles will slowly come out, you can help this with a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass. You very likely do not need to go to an emergency department. Warm compresses can help relieve the pain and irritation.
