Typical injuries in this category might include scrapes, blisters, bruises, or minor burns. The cause may vary widely, stemming from accidents, falls, or minor impacts. It is not able to penetrate to the deeper layers of skin or the organs housed within the trunk area, such as the heart or lungs. Symptoms generally include redness, pain, swelling, or even minor bleeding in the area of injury.
