What Is a Raspberry Injury

Road rash

What is a raspberry on your skin?

May 9, 2017. Raspberries are usually bright red and painful, and, no — not the fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, road rash — whatever you call these scrapes — are painful and can be difficult to treat. Some suggest wrapping the wound, while others suggest airing it out.

How do I get rid of raspberries on my face?

Attempt to gently remove any dirt or other particles. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment. This will help keep the affected area moist and prevent infection. If you notice the formation of a rash or redness due to antibiotic ointment use, suspend use of the ointment.
