First-degree abrasions typically do not require any medical care. With second-degree abrasions, it is important to keep an eye on the wound, looking for certain signs that indicate a visit to the doctor is in order, such as infection, slow healing, or other complications. Some signs that you should see a doctor for a second-degree abrasion include the following: • Discharge or pus oozing out of the wound • Fever • Increasing redness, swelling, and tenderness around the wound • No signs of healing after several days • Pain that continues to get worse • Wound that contains debris that you cannot remove safely on your own If you are dealing with a third-degree abrasion or skin avulsion, you should seek medical care immediately. Skin avulsions typically involve significant bleeding and tearing of the skin.
