What is another word for flesh wound?
Pronunciation: [flˈɛʃ wˈuːnd] (IPA) 
A "flesh wound" can be described using numerous synonyms. These include abrasion, cut, scratch, laceration, gash, puncture, nick, tear, or scrape. Each of these terms refers to a wound that affects the skin, but varies in its severity and the way it is inflicted. An abrasion or scrape is a superficial wound that occurs when the skin is rubbed or scraped roughly against another surface. A cut or laceration is a deeper wound caused by a sharp object, while a puncture is a small, deep wound caused by a pointed object such as a nail or needle. So, one can use any of these synonyms to describe a flesh wound rather than using the same word over and over again.
