What is scraping someone? Scraping someone can mean different things depending on context, and most are not medical. Literally, scraping someone could mean accidentally scraping their skin and causing an abrasion, for example scraping someone's arm with a rough object, resulting in a friction wound. In slang, scraping someone is not standard, but scrapping someone with a p would mean fighting them, as in you wanna scrap? In internet and tech context, scraping someone could mean collecting their public online information, called data scraping, which raises privacy concerns. In some drug slang, scraping may refer to trying to get leftover residue, but this is not medical advice. In clinical contexts, a procedure called scraping may be done to collect a sample, such as skin scraping to test for fungus, where a clinician gently scrapes scales, or wound scraping to obtain culture, done with sterile technique and appropriate anesthesia. If you mean you injured someone with a scrape, that wound is called an abrasion and needs basic first aid: wash hands, rinse wound, remove debris, apply petroleum jelly, cover, and monitor for infection. If you mean slang for fighting, avoiding physical confrontation and seeking help is safest.
