Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Your fast will not break by simply scraping the cheek. However, if this causes your cheek to bleed and the blood goes into your stomach, then your fast will break. This is when the blood is equal to or more than your saliva, or if you can taste the blood.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
