Abrasions

You know those scrapes you get from falling off your bike or scraping against a rough surface? That's an abrasion. It stings, bleeds a bit, and might leave a mark, but it's usually not too serious.

More about abrasions

What is an abrasion?

A skin abrasion is a type of open wound that’s caused by the skin rubbing against a rough surface. It may be called a scrape or a graze. When an abrasion is caused by the skin sliding across hard ground, it can be called road rash.

Where are abrasions most likely to occur?

Abrasions are most likely to occur on the:

  • elbows
  • knees
  • shins
  • ankles

When is an abrasion serious?

Most mild abrasions will heal quickly, but some deeper abrasions may lead to infection or scarring. It’s important to treat the wound right away to reduce your risk for scarring. Make sure to keep the wound clean. Avoid picking at the affected area as it heals. One of the most serious side effects of any open wound is infection. See your doctor if you suspect an infection.

What are the signs of an infected abrasion?

Signs of infection include:

  • painful, irritated skin
  • foul-smelling discharge from the wound
  • green, yellow, or brown pus
