This photo shows the effect of a bullet that has grazed the scalp. A bullet graze wound occurs when a bullet skims or glances off the skin, creating a superficial injury rather than penetrating deeply. These wounds are typically linear or elongated, often appearing as scratches or shallow cuts, and may cause minor bleeding, bruising, or abrasions. While generally less severe than penetrating wounds, they can still be painful and may require medical attention to prevent infection.
