Artefactual skin disorder – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2131747719
Artefactual skin disorder encompasses a diverse range of self-inflicted skin injuries that are provoked by mechanical means or by the application or injection of chemical irritants or caustics. They may simulate other dermatoses but usually have a distinctive, geometric, bizarre configuration which cannot be otherwise explained.
