Medical Terms - Abrasion
Abrasion is the process by which the surface of the skin or a mucous membrane is worn away by friction caused by a mechanical injury. These little injuries have the potential to facilitate the infiltration of microscopic organisms, thereby causing an abscess or a more serious type of inflammation.
Therapeutic intervention The most efficacious method of treatment is the meticulous and prompt washing of the wound with soap and water. Subsequently, a sterile dry dressing or an antiseptic like 1 percent cetrimide might be administered.
