A superficial injury or wound that occurs on the surface of the skin or a material due to friction, scraping, or rubbing against a rough or abrasive surface.
It involves the removal or wearing away of the outer layer or layers of the affected material or tissue. Abrasions commonly result from incidents such as falls, scrapes, or contact with rough objects or surfaces. They are typically characterized by redness, swelling, and sometimes the presence of minor bleeding. While abrasions are not usually deep or severe, they can cause discomfort, pain, and temporary impairment of the affected area. In addition to injuries on the skin, the term 'abrasion' can also be used to describe the wearing down or erosion of materials such as metals, plastics, or fabrics due to repetitive friction or contact. Proper cleaning, disinfection, and care are essential for preventing infection and promoting healing in cases of abrasions.
