abrasion - superficial skin injury
Definition for abrasion
In dermatology, an abrasion, is superficial damage to the skin, generally not deeper than the epidermis.
more
In dermatology, an abrasion, is superficial damage to the skin, generally not deeper than the epidermis. It is more superficial than an excoriation, although it can give mild bleeding. Mild abrasions, also known as 'grazes' do not scar, but deep abrasions may lead to the development of scarring tissue.
Most commonly, abrasion injuries occur when exposed skin comes into moving contact with a rough surface causing trauma to the upper layers of the epidermis.
