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.
