Es mucho más común usar "abrasions" que "excoriations".

Rachel Fell
: I agree, but is abrasion the same/as severe as excoriation?

As far as I know, there is no difference, and I checked Webster before answering. Any medical experts care to illuminate us? Thanks for your comment, Rachel.

: "Excoration" means "scratch," and "abrasion" is when the skin has been rubbed ("brush burn") -- it can be very painful and is more apt to get infected than a scratch.

Well, Webster (10th) says that "excoriate" means "to wear the skin off of: ABRADE." I'll take your word for it, though! I gotta get a Mosby medical dictionary. Thanks for your comment!
