Scrape or wound (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lesion

This clue is a double definition.

'scrape' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
