Explanation:
A friction burn is a form of abrasion caused by friction when a person's skin rubs against a surface. It may also be referred to as "skinning", "chafing," or called by the surface which caused the burn (e.g., "rope burn" or "carpet burn" or "rug burn".

Penso ser esse o sentido.

  -> Yes, we have different opinions, hence the two answers. If I thought the carpet was burnt, I would have given you my ''Agree'' without posting my answer:)
