<p>It is a typo, it should be 硌. 
If you sit on a rock, you would feel the rock 硌 your butt. 
If your hand hold a wooden stick that is not smooth, you feel 硌手.</p>

I've check the word '硌', in mdbg it's a verb 'pressing painfully', in ichacha and ichiba it's a noun 'rock'. So '硌' could be both a noun or a verb? Also, may I know how it is read as? mdbg says 'ge' while ichiba says 'luo'....

@Fai91 Both is correct, it is 多音字. But, just dismiss the noun ('luo'), it is very rare, nobody use it as noun. .

There are lots of chemical elements with unique Chinese characters, newly created to represent them.

I think this is a typo, common mistake in Chinese Simplified Characters usage.

I guess the right word is 烙

烙 means : use fire to heat the iron then seal to the crimial's body, is a punishment, the brand will never fade on the skin and in their mind

Other posibly is 銘，means carve

烙 and 銘 here is almost the same meaning

full sentence : 那遍佈的傷疤，烙的她手指生疼
