I haven't seen Higurashi in a pretty long time, but I believe those are infected wounds she attained by violently scratching herself. If you watch the anime, you'll see that due to a virus called the Hinamizawa Syndrome, Rena has episodes in which she thinks there are maggots crawling around in her skin, and she desperately tries to scratch them out. (the virus is dormant in all citizens of the town, but for some reason that I forget, is active in Rena in some of the story arcs) I hope that helped, if you decided to read the spoiler~

Would've been just as funny if that was Aya's doing.

It's a retort that I'd expect from a child. I just can't take it seriously. It's like a child (we'll call him John) who got caught in the act of pushing down a younger kid. When scolded by an adult, John's friend argues, "but Mark pushes kids more than him!" in an attempt to get John out of trouble. It doesn't change the fact that John pushed a little kid to begin with.
I've always hated that argument you just gave. "but there's worse than this, therefore it should not be deleted." That's a very shallow and paper-thin argument on your part.
