Abstract

A friction burn occurs when the skin is scraped off by contact with some hard object, such as the road, the floor, etc., or by prolonged contact with a smooth surface. It is usually confused with burns but it is both an abrasion and a heat burn. A friction burn can occur in any part of the body but these usually affect bony prominences, such as the hands, forearms, elbows, knees, heels, head, or chin. It can per se be a cause of death. This case series highlights the characteristics of friction burns and their medico-legal significance.
