Injury or wound (6)

I believe the answer is:

lesion

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'injury' is the first definition.
(I know that lesion is a type of injury)

'wound' is the second definition.
(medical term for a wound)

(Other definitions for lesion that I've seen before include "Flesh wound" , "Abrasion" , "Damaged area of tissue" , "Damage to tissue from injury or disease" , "Harmful change in bodily tissue as from injury" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Irish Times (Simplex), The Irish Times and the Evening Standard.
