Use the parameter 'post__not_in' to exclude post IDs:

$posts = new WP_Query(
    array (
        'post__not_in' => array(get_the_ID()) // exclude current post ID
    )
);

If you could give us some code snippets of what you are currently using, it would help us formulate an answer. Unfortunately I don't have enough reputation to say this as a comment on the OP, so I will provide my answer based on the knowledge provided in the OP.

When loading the current post (presumably by using single.php), you can save the post ID in a PHP variable, like so:

<?php $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID; ?>

Later, in your loop to display related posts, you need an if-statement to skip the loop if the ID's match. Like so:

<?php
    // Get related posts
    $related = new WP_Query( $args );
    while ( $related->have_posts() ) : $related->the_post();
        if (in_array($post->ID, $do_not_duplicate)) continue;
?>
<!-- Your html for related post listing -->
<?php 
    endwhile;           // End 'while have_posts()'
    wp_reset_postdata();    // Reset Post Data
?>
