Dirt and germs frequently have been rubbed into this type of wound, which is why it is important to clean and irrigate an abrasion thoroughly with soap and water to prevent infection. Other terms for an abrasion include a scrape, a rug burn, a road rash, or a strawberry.
Brush burns â sometimes referred to as rug burn, scrapes or skinned knees â are minor lacerations or abrasions that occur due to friction between your skin and another surface, such as carpet or pavement. Brush burns are common in children and can also occur when falling on a rough surface. This can be painful and cause small amounts of bleeding. Though this is a minor injury, without proper treatment it can lead to infections or scarring. Fortunately, you can take several actions to prevent scarring.
