In essence, an abrasion is a ‘scrape’ that happens when the skin is rubbed away and can occur as a result of abrasive material (friction or chaffing from clothes or objects), falling on gravel, or ‘skinning’ areas of the body when objects brush past the body at high speed (for example twigs and branches when tumbling down a hill). Children are most at risk for abrasions – most commonly at school in the playground.
