I agree scrapes expose more skin but my husband didn't have a scrape as he only scuffed it. Not sure what other terminology would more aptly define it.

I'm not sure where the puncture wound you referred to came from as he had a small scratch and not a puncture. When his hand started to turn red and to swell we knew to take him to the hospital. The doctor treating him for this staph infection was the one who told us about not using neosoporin.

I think it would probably be termed an abrasion. About the puncture wound I went back and reread and I don’t know where I got that from lol
Sometimes crap happens and even in hindsight you don’t know where it went awry.
