Raspberries meaning skin abrasions

Hi

Could you please tell me how common the term raspberry is in the sense of skin abrasion? Is this sentence fully natural?

He fell down on the concrete and got a raspberry on his knee.

Thanks,

Tom

It wasn't common at all where I grew up nor where I live now. However, I have heard the expression once or twice.
