Abrasions
Introduction
Abrasions are skin scrapes that may involve epidermis or part or all of the dermis. Abrasions are evaluated, cleansed, and debrided similarly to Lacerations . They are harder to anesthetize, however, which is particularly problematic when large amounts of dirt, stones, or glass are embedded as is frequently the case, particularly with deep, scraping wounds; a regional nerve block or procedural sedation may be needed.
