Weals and abrasions from caning

Some activities, particularly those which involve striking the bottom or submissive, can abrade, tear, or damage the skin. Flogging is a good candidate for this as the multiple tails of a flogger commonly strike and then drag along the skin. However, most other forms of impact play can also cause abrasions.
