I found a case report about a woman who self-inflicted lesions on both legs, resulting in necrotic ulcers, that I think might be interesting to people in this thread (or, at least, it reminded me of Kelly and I had to check where the authors worked to be sure it wasn't a very early Kelly presentation).
Apparently this type of factitious disorder is common enough that it has a name - Dermatitis artefacta, which they abbreviate as DA.

The leg ulcers, with hilariously unnecessary arrows.

Relevant excerpt:
A 36-year-old female was transferred to the burn unit with rapidly progressing necrotizing skin lesions on her bilateral distal lower extremities. She reported noting small red-brown lesions on her right lower leg that rapidly progressed within 24 hours into black necrotic plaques, circumferential around both of her lower extremities.

Due to this extremely atypical presentation, extensive medical records were reviewed to reveal no confirmed diagnosis of PG, vasculitis, vasculopathy, or associated illnesses. Furthermore, medical records revealed an eight-year history of multiple burns and episodes of ulcerating lesions with little corroborating data regarding diagnosis. Psychiatry was consulted and based on the patient’s exam and history, diagnosed her with DA. The patient received a final diagnosis of chemical burn, full thickness (third degree) of left and right lower leg, and DA.
