Kaposi's is an: (human herpes virus 8) associated vascular malignancy that can be widespread in men infected with progressive HIV disease. It is not associated with trauma, as abrasions would be, does not change colors and fade away like abrasions would be and looking at them have a much more defined edge than an abrasion does.
