She ended up having to get her legs amputated after her legs began to rot.

Kelly Ronahan, a Canadian ballet teacher from British Columbia, first gained public attention because of a serious and unexplained medical condition. In 2016, she spoke publicly about suffering from dangerously low hemoglobin levels that required frequent blood transfusions. At the time, doctors had been unable to determine why her blood counts continued to fall. Over roughly two years, she reportedly received dozens of transfusions, making her case unusual enough to attract media attention.

In the years that followed, Ronahan began developing severe wounds on her legs that became increasingly difficult to treat. Her condition reportedly continued to worsen despite medical care and attempts to repair the damaged tissue. Eventually, the damage became so serious that both of her legs were amputated in 2021. Her case later became the subject of widespread discussion online, with some people claiming that she had intentionally interfered with her own treatment or wounds. However, many of those claims come from social media and online speculation rather than confirmed medical records, so the exact cause of her condition and the events leading to the amputations remain unclear.

Ronahan's story became well known because of how dramatically her health changed over a relatively short period of time. What began as an unexplained blood disorder eventually turned into a much more serious medical situation involving chronic wounds and the loss of both legs. While there are many theories online about what happened, much of the private medical information needed to fully explain her case has never been made public.

Me thinks this girl needs a new hobby, or maybe a pet to take care of.

I know a girl that does this on a smaller scale. Any type of small scratch, mosquito bite, zit, or knick from shaving turns into what looks like a boil, or open wound. I can only describe it as an obsession with peeling off the scab which leads to infection and a larger scab.

I do as well… with a bit of dermatillomania as well. But it’s NOTHING compared to this.
