I would say if there was no 'impact' but just some scraping you are fine. Unless the scraping wore through the protective shell at all. If there's any doubt, I would get it checked out. Either by a helmet shop, or the manufacturer. How bad is it?

From the pics, it just looks like surface/aesthetic damage. They're a little blurry. It looks like you just grazed your head. I doubt the structural integrity of the helmet has been compromised at all.

I would replace that lid. I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that again.
