A wound resulting from the rubbing away of the outer skin layers is known as an abrasion. Abrasions occur when the skin is scraped against a rough surface, leading to the removal of the epidermis and sometimes part of the dermis. They are typically shallow and may not bleed significantly, but they can be painful and prone to infection if not properly cleaned and cared for.

This can result in delayed healing, increased risk of infection, and the need for potential surgical intervention to reapproximate the tissues.
