very cold temperatures.
BURNS - tissue damage that results from heat, overexposure to the sun or other
radiation, or chemical or electrical contact

GROUP 5
OPEN WOUNDS
ABRASION- It is an injury characterized by the removal of the superficial
epithelial layer of the skin caused by a rub or friction.
CHARACTERISTIC OF ABRASION
It develops at the precise point of impact of the force causing it.
Grossly or with the aid of a hand lens the injury consists of parallel linear injuries.
It may exhibit the pattern of the wounding material.
It is usually ignored by the attending physician for it does not require medical
treatment.
CAUSES OF ABRASION
Abrasions caused by fingernails nail indicate struggle or assault that are usually
located in the face, neck, forearms, and hands neck.
Abrasions resulting from friction or rough surfaces, either intentional or accidental
or located on bony parts of the body and usually associated with contusion or
laceration.
3. Nature of the abrasion may infer or degree of pressure, nature of the rubbing
object and the direction of movement.
E. Unless there is a supervening infection, abrasion heals in a short time and
leaves no scar. If the whole thickness of the skin is involved, healing may be
delayed and occasionally with scar formation.
FORMS OF ABRASSION
A. LINEAR- An abrasion which appears as a single line. It may be straight or curve line.
B. MULTI- LINEAR- An abrasion which develops when the skin is rubbed on a hard
rough object thereby producing several linear marks parallel to one another.
C. Confluent - An abrasion where the linear marks on the skin are almost
indistinguishable on account of the severity of friction and roughness of the object.
D. Multiple - Several abrasions of varying sizes and shapes may be found in different
parts of the body.
TYPES OF ABRASION SCRATCH
A. SHARP POINTED
B. GRAZE
C. IMPACT OR IMPRINT ABRASION
D. PRESSURE OR FRICTION OF ABRASION
DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
DERMAL EROSION - A Gradual breakdown or very shallow ulceration of the skin
which involves only the epidermis and heals without scarring.
MARKS OF INSECTS AND FISHES BITES- The skin injury is irregular with no vital
reaction and usually found on angels of the mouth, margins of nose, eyelids and
forehead.
EXCORARIATION OF THE SKIN BY EXCRETA- This condition is only found among
infants and the skin lesion heals when the cause is removed.
PRESSURE SORE- Usually found at the back at the region of bony prominence
INCISED WOUND - It caused by slash or cut with a sharp object ( paghiwa ng balat )
