MEDICAL DESCRIPTIONS

Busted Eye: Bruising, swelling, an open cut often seen if the person has been in a fight. A freshly bruised eye has just happened and is black and blue in color. A days-old eye injury will be green and yellow in color.

This wound effect could be used for many different situations.

Abrasion Wound: Abrasions are surface skin lesions, such as scratches or small cuts, where the skin has been scraped. There is usually no need for stitches to close the wound.

Animal Bites: Animal or people bites are laceration wounds where the skin is torn.

Stab Wounds: Stab wounds or penetrating stab wounds are deep, and often fatal because of the harm done to vital organs.

Broken or Fractured Nose: When the nose has been broken, there will be swelling and bruising. There is also a good chance of the nose becoming deformed. You can also experience eye hemorrhaging and bruising around both eyes, as well as nosebleeds.

Broken Jaw: This is a serious wound for several reasons. The swelling of the tongue can affect the breathing. With facial swelling and bruising, there is a strong possibility of lacerations in the mouth.

Blood from these lacerations can cause dangerous choking.

Compound Fractures: There is a big concern with compound fractures that a blood or nerve vessel could be injured. Fractures of this nature leave the bone exposed due to skin lacerations.

Hemorrhaging in the Eye: Same as the bruise, but located in the eye. Blood vessels that have broken in the eye area become trapped under the corona and give the eye a bright red stain effect. As the bruise starts to heal, the area will develop a yellow greenish tone.

Burns:

First Degree: Burns that affect the outer layer of the skin. First-degree burns are red with swelling and pain.

Second Degree: Burns that affect both the outer and under layer of skin. These burns cause pain, redness, and blistering.

Third Degree: Burns that affect deeper tissues, resulting in white, blackened, or charred skin that causes numbness.

Thermal Burns: These burns can occur when scalding liquids, radiation, or flames or hot items come into contact with skin. Symptoms are blisters, peeling skin, red skin, shock, swelling, white or charred skin.

Gunshot Wounds: Your wound size will depend on the caliber of the gun and the shooting distance. The entrance wound is cleaner than the exit wound. The entrance wound is smaller in diameter, with burned edges of skin at the bullet entrance. The exit wound is larger and messier, with the greatest amount of blood and body matter dispersed outward.
