What is another word for scrapes?
Pronunciation: [skɹˈe͡ɪps] (IPA)

Synonyms for scrapes may include abrasions, grazes, cuts, wounds, lacerations, bruises, and contusions. Abrasions and grazes generally refer to superficial scrapes that affect only the outer layer of the skin. Cuts and wounds, on the other hand, can result in a deeper injury that may require medical attention.

All of these terms are commonly used to describe different types of scrapes and can help in identifying their severity and proper treatment.
