Why do scrapes turn your skin white? 1.04K viewsJanuary 3, 2024 Question90.25K May 20, 2021 0 Comments I notice when I get a mild scrape that doesn’t break the skin, it turns white but I can just wipe it away with my finger. Is this just dead skin cells or something else? In: Biology 1 Answer ActiveNewestOldest Anonymous Posted May 20, 2021 0 Comments Yes, it’s just the top layer of skin. It was scuffed off in the scrape, so that’s why it appears white and can be brushed off. Register or Login
