    pwolf had the most accurate answer. The abrasion is caused by breathing too late, leaving your head up and turned as the arm passes ear level. I never had this problem when younger, but since starting training again last summer, my stroke is slightly screwed up, including late breathing on both sides. If I don't shave before swimming, the skin on the front of both shoulders gets pretty chewed up.
