What is the difference between an abrasion and a laceration?
Abrasion occurs when your skin scrapes against a rough or hard surface. A laceration is a deep cut or tearing of your skin by items such as knives, tools, or machinery. If deep, bleeding can be rapid and heavy. A puncture is a small hole caused by a pointy object like a nail, needle, or bullet (bullet puncture).
