    This document defines and compares three common types of injuries: abrasions, lacerations, and contusions. Abrasions remove the outer layer of skin due to friction against a rough surface and can cause pain, swelling, and infection. Lacerations are cuts caused by sharp objects that cut the skin but do not remove any layers. Contusions, also known as bruises, are caused by direct blows and damage the skin and deeper tissues, causing discoloration, swelling, tightness, and stiffness. The document provides symptoms and treatment recommendations for prevention and first aid for each type of injury.
