Abrasion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
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.
Bandage using non-stick padding, as blood will attach to the bandage, resulting in extreme pain and suffering.
