What is a "scrape"?

A scrape refers to a minor injury where the skin gets rubbed or scratched off, often resulting in a small, shallow wound. These can happen when you accidentally slide or brush against a rough surface, like pavement or a rough-textured object. Scapes usually cause some pain and may bleed a bit, but they generally heal quickly with proper cleaning and bandaging.

Examples
