Scrapes or abrasions are wounds where the skin has been rubbed or torn off. Most abrasions do not go deep into the skin, but may remove a few layers of skin. These kinds of wounds don’t bleed much, but they can ooze fluid. Abrasions on the face will often appear worse than they really are. Abrasions on the face are likely to bleed more because of the many blood vessels that are close to the surface of the skin.   Most abrasions will heal easily and may not require a bandage. The usual time to heal is about one to two weeks. A large abrasion may take up to two weeks to heal. Even though there may not be much blood from the injury a scab may still form.
