Molding Plasto (wax) onto skin, cutting down the middle with metal spatula to make a cut. Wax sealer applied on top to settle it into place. After it settles you could apply wound filler, puss and liquid blood always should be the last to add. 



Using collodium and peeling a little around the edges. Scratches created by stipple sponge with fake blood. A little red color from the bruise wheel tapped around the wound.
