1. The process of wearing down or rubbing away by means of friction.
2.
1. A scraped or worn area.
2. A scraped area on the skin or on a mucous membrane, resulting from injury or irritation.

from Wiki pedia:
In dermatology, an abrasion is superficial damage to the skin, generally not deeper than the epidermis. It is more superficial than an excoriation, although it can give mild bleeding. Mild abrasions do not scar, but deep abrasions may lead to the development of scarring tissue.

Most commonly, abrasion injuries occur when exposed skin comes into moving contact with a rough surface causing trauma to the upper layers of the epidermis.

Such injuries, where caused by abrasive contact with textiles or carpet, are sometimes referred to as 'carpet burns'.
