Abrasion

For other uses, see Abrasion (disambiguation).

Image:Abrasion on hand 20050906.jpg 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 do not scar, but deep abrasions may lead to the development of scarring tissue.
