A superficial wound means that the individual has a wound that is on or near the surface of the skin. The epidermis (the top layer of skin) is most affected by the cause of the injury and the site of the wound. This means that the wound is not bad in terms of the degree of the severity of the wound. An example of a superficial wound is an abrasion. Although this type of wound is not severe, it still needs to be taken care of to insure that it stays that way (prevent infection, etc.).
